“Redefining Hip Arthroplasty: Innovations, Outcomes, and Technology”
Episode 3.1 – The Changing Landscape in Total Hip Arthroplasty: Part One
Hip replacement surgery is rapidly evolving, reshaping both patient pathways and surgical practice. In this episode, experts discuss the rise of outpatient and same-day discharge programs—now achievable for the majority of patients with the right preoperative education and optimisation. The conversation highlights how workflow innovations, such as tray simplification and powered impactors, are improving efficiency while protecting surgeon wellbeing. Listeners will also hear how implant design and surgical approaches are shifting, with triple-tapered collared stems and the growing adoption of the anterior approach setting new standards in hip arthroplasty.
