Temporospatial Parameters and Gait Symmetry in Hip Pathology Patients Pre and Post Hip Preservation ...

Clinicians specializing in hip preservation surgery perform surgical procedures in adolescent and young adult patients to increase longevity of the affected hip and prevent or delay the need for a total hip arthroplasty (Adler et al., 2015; Freeman et al., 2014). Patients typically present with diagnoses such as acetabular hip dysplasia or femoroacetabular impingement syndrome often undergo surgical interventions including periacetabular osteotomy, surgical hip dislocation, or hip arthroscopy (Freeman et al., 2014).
