InNetwork CME - Common Adult Hip Pathology for the Primary Care Provider

Included in Plus and Premium Memberships!

AAPA’s InNetwork CME offers specialty spotlights on various topics, created for PAs, by PAs.

This presentation reviews commonly found hip pathology in adults, as well as its causes, radiographic imaging modalities, conservative treatment options, and surgical options. Learners will discover which imaging modalities are best for diagnosis, determine how to treat patients based on their pathology, understand the contra-indications for some treatments, discern other conditions that mimic hip pain, know when to refer patients to specialists, and review surgical options for specific conditions.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify pertinent anatomy of the adult hip
  • Perform physical exam of the hip to produce differential diagnosis
  • Order correct imaging modality for specific hip conditions
  • Discern intra-articular from extra-articular diagnoses of adult hip pain
