OVERVIEW

The fifth iteration of the NYU Hip Dysplasia Symposium will focus on gaps in the knowledge of hip dysplasia. The course is divided into two sections, the first focusing on early identification and optimizing non-operative approaches. The second aimed at the orthopedic surgeon will focus on cutting-edge surgical treatments. With a mix of lectures and case-based presentations, participants will gain knowledge in the best practices for: Identifying hip dysplasia; Treating infants, children, adolescents, and young adults with hip dysplasia; Recognizing complications and pitfalls in treatment, and Developing strategies to deal with these. Participants will hear from researchers from around the world who are working on cutting edge technology to improve our understanding of this incredibly common condition.
