Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Mark Safran from Stanford University speaks about recognizing and treating hip micro-instability. He recommends referring to a paper he published in the Journal of the AAOS in January 2019 for background information on the topic. Safran discusses the importance of making an accurate diagnosis of micro-instability through clinical and imaging clues. He explains various tests, such as the dial test, abduction external rotation extension test, and hyperextension external rotation test, that can help identify micro-instability. Safran also highlights the role of radiographs and MRI in providing additional clues for potential instability. In terms of treatment, Safran suggests starting with non-operative methods such as physical therapy and activity modification. For patients who fail non-operative treatment, surgical options like capsuloraphy or capsulorplication may be considered. Safran concludes by emphasizing the significance of correctly identifying and treating micro-instability to improve patient outcomes. No credits were mentioned in the video.
