APEX Hip Enhancing Clinical Expertise and Proficiency (November 2023)-Intra-Operative Fluoroscopy and Dynamic Assessment

Intra-Operative Fluoroscopy and Dynamic Assessment

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. AJ Lal from the American Hip Institute discusses the importance of precise intraoperative fluoroscopy and dynamic assessment for achieving a perfectly spherical femoroplasty in CAM management. Over- or under-resection can impair the labral seal, causing pain and joint degeneration. Studies show over-resection leads to worse outcomes and higher rates of total hip replacement. Dr. Lal emphasizes a systematic fluoroscopic approach during surgery to sculpt an optimal femoral head contour while preserving the labral seal. Future advances may include robotics and virtual reality for enhanced precision. Mastery of technique and multidimensional imaging are essential for successful hip preservation.
