AANA24 Hip All-Access Pass-CONCURRENT SCIENTIFIC SESSION 1C: AANA/ISHA Symposium

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session, moderated by John Cristoforetti, focused on the International Society for Hip Arthroscopy (ISHA) and key topics in hip preservation and arthroscopy. Dr. Al Stubbs highlighted ISHA’s growth from a small group to over 800 members globally, emphasizing its role in fostering scientific collaboration and friendship within hip preservation. The society promotes diverse approaches, including arthroscopic and open techniques, and encourages mentorship and international research efforts.<br /><br />Dr. Tom Wirtz outlined details of the upcoming ISHA annual meeting in Washington, D.C., emphasizing the strong international faculty, broad topic areas ranging from hip instability to biologics, and new initiatives like a program for physician extenders. He stressed the benefit of networking and learning global techniques in a collegial environment.<br /><br />Dr. Beng Yan delivered a rapid overview of three pediatric hip conditions: septic arthritis, slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), and borderline dysplasia. He described evolving arthroscopic techniques for septic arthritis that preserve the physis, debated when and how to address residual deformities in SCFE patients, and discussed the complexity in treating borderline dysplasia, advocating for individualized approaches balancing stability and symptoms.<br /><br />Dr. Winston Gwathmey shifted focus to arthroscopy after total hip replacement in adults, highlighting management of iliopsoas impingement, trochanteric bursitis, adductor tears, and ischiofemoral impingement. He underscored the importance of careful diagnosis, ultrasound-guided injections, and lab training to address these challenging post-arthroplasty conditions.<br /><br />A panel debate addressed training adequacy in hip arthroscopy, noting that traditional residency and sports fellowships often provide limited exposure, while dedicated hip preservation fellowships may be essential for proficiency given the procedure’s complexity.<br /><br />Overall, the session showcased ISHA’s dedication to education, research, and advancing hip preservation care across diverse patient populations and surgical challenges.
