Data-Driven Decisions and Technology Disruption in Hip Surgery (BHS Revalidation)

Description

The session kicks off with an introduction by Vikas Khanduja, who welcomes attendees to the BHS Revalidation Session and provides insights on the current statistics and focuses of the British Hip Society (BHS). He highlights the importance of mentorship, research, and education within the society as part of its growth and development. The presentations cover various topics including total hip arthroplasty, fixation techniques, and advancements in surgical methodologies such as robotic-assisted surgery.



The discussions emphasize the significance of evidence-based practices in hip joint surgery while addressing the challenges in translating clinical data into everyday practice, especially for those in smaller healthcare settings. The speakers encourage collaboration and mentorship among colleagues for optimizing surgical outcomes and adapting to new technologies. Professor Xavier Griffin discusses the impact of these research findings on clinical guidelines and the necessary adaptation of practices across different settings. The session wraps up with interactive discussions from the audience, emphasizing the practical implications of the research presented on patient care, particularly surrounding hip fractures.



In summary, the presented evidence argues for continued education, adaptable practices, and the need for a collaborative, evidence-based approach to improve patient outcomes in hip surgeries.
