Mehmet Gem's career

He started out pitchside — football and rugby, with young elite athletes — before narrowing his focus year after year down to a single region of the body. That path is what gives his teaching its tone: hip and groin presentations look alike, misinformation about them is abundant, and what makes the difference in clinic is not one more test but sounder reasoning.

What he works on

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI): his subject of choice, and the presentation where diagnostic confusion costs the patient the most.
Labral tears and hip dysplasia: two presentations that sit close to the previous one, and yet are not managed in the same way.
Gluteal tendinopathy and hip replacement rehabilitation: the rest of the everyday hip caseload, the kind a physiotherapist sees every week.
Public-facing content: his hip content is followed by more than six hundred thousand people, along the same line as his teaching — simplify without watering down.
