In collaboration with UPMC Sports Medicine, UPMC Orthopaedic Care invites you to attend the 5th Annual Hip Preservation Program Conference, which will be held virtually on Saturday, May 21st. Course directors Craig Mauro, MD, Volker Musahl, MD, and David Spaeder, PT, DPT, OCS, SCS, designed this year’s course for physicians, physician assistants, physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, and athletic trainers to help better assist with the diagnosis and management of athletes’ hips.
The conference will last from 7:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. and consist of 19 individual presentations by experts in orthopaedic surgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation, physical therapy, athletic training, and student-athlete behavioral health and wellness. Each segment (diagnosis, cutting/impingement sports, flexibility sports, contact sports, overhead/asymmetric sports, endurance sports, and return to sport) ends with a brief Q&A.
CME credit will be available for the live conference, as well as via courses on the UPMC Physician Resources website following the conference. Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to understand current procedures for athletic hip injuries, discuss relevant rehabilitation principles of joint and soft tissue hip injuries, discuss non-operative medical interventions, including ultrasound imaging and injections with the management of hip pain, and apply current return-to-sport literature to ensure appropriate progression of the patients back onto the playing field.
