Drawing on his dual perspective as both an orthopedic surgeon and former athlete, Dr. Nwachukwu offers valuable insights into when rehabilitation may be sufficient, and when surgical intervention is the better path.

Listeners will learn how to:

• Analyze the evidence surrounding hip preservation techniques
• Apply practical, research-backed methods to real-world cases
