normal gait will be reviewed. Mechanism of injury, presentation and
clinical testing for hip and knee impairments will precede presentation
and discussion of surgical interventions for: labral and meniscal repair,
hip fracture repair, total joint replacement procedures, approaches, and
revisions. The role of physical therapy interventions in conservative
management and post-surgical management of hip and knee procedures will
