The assessment and treatment of the pediatric/adolescent hip and pelvis is often overlooked due to differences from the adult population. This course will introduce clinicians to a variety of hip/pelvis-specific conditions that frequently affect adolescent athletes. It will teach clinicians functional assessments to enhance their clinical decision-making for return to sports with these patients.
