Core Topics in Orthopaedics - Hip Conditions

Description

This webinar, organized by BIOS UK, features a series of informative talks aimed at senior registrars and junior consultants, covering core topics in hip surgery. The session opens with a welcome address from the host, who introduces the speakers and the subjects they will tackle. Key topics include femoral impingement and various approaches to total hip replacements, particularly in complex cases such as secondary osteoarthritis and treatment of periprosthetic fractures.



The first speaker, Mr. Ravindra Gudena, discusses femoral impingement, addressing its definition, etiology, symptoms, and treatment options, focusing on how underlying anatomical differences can lead to hip problems, particularly in young adults engaged in sports. His discussion also touches on the importance of accurate diagnosis using imaging techniques, emphasizing the evidence supporting various management paths.



Following Mr. Gudena, Mr. Nikhil Shah presents on the consenting process for total hip replacements, highlighting the legalities introduced by the Montgomery judgment that shift the responsibility of informed consent from the physician to the patient, noting the need for individualized discussions regarding risks and alternatives.



Mr. Patel then takes the floor to discuss total hip replacements in secondary osteoarthritis, focusing on classifications of hip deformities and detailing the complexities of surgical interventions in difficult cases, guiding attendees on managing patient expectations and understanding intricate anatomical structures that impact surgical outcomes.



Finally, Mr. Kuntal Patel covers periprosthetic fractures, discussing their prevalence, risks associated with different surgical techniques, and the importance of comprehensive pre-operative assessments to ensure optimal outcomes. Throughout, the speakers engage the audience with real-life clinical scenarios and encourage questions to clarify complex topics. The session concludes with acknowledgments from the host and an invitation to the next webinar focused on foot and ankle trauma.
