2023 Annual Meeting Hip Access Pass-Rapid-Fire Questions and Answers

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In a rapid-fire session, experts discussed failed hip arthroscopy workup, emphasizing initial X-rays to evaluate residual FAI and challenges when imaging appears normal. They agreed that iliopsoas impingement rarely requires total hip replacement, favoring conservative management. Opinions varied on capsulotomy techniques, with most favoring interportal or T-capsulotomy, tailoring approaches by pathology. Computer navigation was highlighted as especially beneficial for novices, accelerating proficiency in interpreting X-rays from nine months to three to six months, while experienced surgeons use it selectively for complex cases. The session concluded with acknowledgment of time constraints and plans to continue discussion.
