Key Points

  • To establish a standardized approach for the clinical diagnosis of hip instability.
  • Conducted a scoping review to identify key symptoms and examination maneuvers.
  • Engaged in an international Delphi study with multidisciplinary experts to reach consensus on diagnosis.
  • Outlined associated risk factors for hip instability.
  • Identified essential symptoms and recommended physical examination techniques.
  • Proposed clinical algorithms to guide diagnostic processes.
  • Highlighted the importance of standardization to reduce variability in diagnosis.

Abstract

By outlining key symptoms, recommended physical examination maneuvers, and associated risk factors, this study supports a more standardized and reproducible approach to evaluate hip instability in clinical practice. These findings can inform clinical algorithms, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and reduce variability in both research protocols and clinical practice.
