Learning Objectives:

1 | Describe the pathomechanics of femoroacetabular impingement, including cam and pincer morphology and their associated labral and chondral injury patterns.

2 | Compare the major randomized controlled trials evaluating hip arthroscopy versus structured physical therapy for femoroacetabular impingement.

3 | Identify the key components of an evidence-based, structured conservative rehabilitation program for femoroacetabular impingement.

4 | Discuss current concepts and evolving rehabilitation strategies for patients with femoroacetabular impingement.

5 | Determine what constitutes an adequate trial and failure of nonoperative management in clinical practice.

6 | Apply practical clinical decision-making to guide continued rehabilitation versus surgical referral.
