Arthroplasty in Hip Dysplasia for Orthopaedic Exams

Description

The session begins with an introduction by a moderator welcoming attendees to a teaching session focused on total hip arthroplasty concerning challenges and solutions related to dysplastic hips. The event features Mr. Satish Cutty, a consultant orthopedic surgeon specializing in complex arthroplasty. Mr. Cutty's expertise encompasses various aspects of hip surgery including revision surgeries and has earned him accolades for training initiatives in orthopedics.



Throughout the session, Mr. Cutty addresses the complications of performing hip arthroplasties in patients with dysplastic hips. He emphasizes the importance of preoperative planning and meticulous assessment of hip geometry, citing that these patients often present with severely distorted biomechanics due to prior surgeries and congenital deformities, complicating the reconstruction process.



Mr. Cutty describes various strategies for managing hip dysplasia, highlighting specific angles such as the lateral center angle and anterior wall characteristics that indicate dysplastic features. He outlines different classification systems relevant to hip dysplasia, touching on their significance in treatment decisions and communication of surgical outcomes. The lecture further explores surgical techniques, including the use of specialized implants and the importance of ensuring adequate bone coverage for stability post-reconstruction.



As the session progresses into interactive polling and question segments, attendees better grasp the complexities surrounding hip dysplasia through case discussions that verify their understanding. The lecturer underscores the necessity of adapting surgical approaches for unique patient anatomies and the implications of various management strategies, such as the hinge or modular designs that can accommodate complicated deformities.



In conclusion, the discussion emphasizes the critical nature of individualized patient care, the evolving nature of surgical techniques, and the necessity for continuous learning and application in orthopedic practice.
