FASHIoN Clinical Study
Peak Sports Medicine is pleased to be involved in exciting research being carried out by researchers at the University of Melbourne and Sydney. The FASHIoN study is an NHMRC-funded research trial, comparing hip arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery with Personalised Hip Therapy for people with painful hip impingement (also known as femoracetabular impingement or FAI). It is a large study being carried out in Melbourne and Sydney, as well as in the United Kingdom.
Personalised Hip Therapy is a unique program developed by international experts, and delivered by experienced physiotherapists in the Melbourne area. Its effectiveness is being compared with hip arthroscopy, which is a minimally invasive form of hip surgery carried out by orthopaedic surgeons who specialise in this procedure.
Dr Peter Braun, specialist sports physician, is involved in the identification of patients who may be eligible to take part in this research. If Dr Braun thinks that the study may be suitable for you, he will ask you to contact the researchers at the University of Melbourne for more information.
The research is led by the University of Sydney's Professor David Hunter, rheumatologist, while the University of Melbourne's Professor Kim Bennell, physiotherapist, is the principal investigator in Melbourne.
