Editorial Commentary: Don't Forgot the Hip in Swimmers and Multisport Athletes.

Abstract

Stretching and strengthening are the mainstays of injury prevention, and recent literature supports that when indicated, femoroacetabular impingement surgical treatment in swimmers results in excellent outcomes including return to sport and frequently at a level of performance superior to pre-injury status.
