Marc J. Philippon, a pioneer in the use of arthroscopic surgery to treat labral tears caused by femoracetabular impingement (FAI), or hip impingement, will be part of a who’s-who list of international surgeons at a convention in Australia this week.
Besides Dr. Philippon, who practices in Vail, Colo., and has treated celebrity athletes like Alex Rodriguez and Tara Lapinski, the 11 other scheduled speakers include several founding members of the International Society for Hip Arthroscopy.
It would’ve been interesting hearing what these guys (there were no women on the speaker list) have to say about this increasingly popular procedure. (I’ve had two hip arthroscopies myself last year.)
And, better yet, to be in a place in the midst of summer!
