The faculty of the HPI is actively involved in research investigations into the causes of hip pain and disfunction. Our providers are active in studying the epidemiology of athletic injuries through the Brown Sports Injury Lab.
We are also actively pursuing cellular causes of hip pain through collaboration with the Brown Cartilage Lab and the Duffy Cell Biology Lab.
Recent publications have focused on hip abductor tendon disease: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30509008 as well as athletic pubalgia: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27706276
