PODCAST SERIES IN COLLABORATION WITH THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT JOURNAL
“Redefining Hip Arthroplasty: Innovations, Outcomes, and Technology”
Episode 3 – The Changing Landscape in Total Hip Arthroplasty: Part Two
Personalisation, data, and economics are shaping the future of hip replacement surgery. This episode explores how preoperative digital planning, spinopelvic assessment, and implant-specific simulations are helping surgeons tailor procedures to reduce complications such as impingement, instability, and leg-length discrepancy. The discussion also examines the strengths and limitations of national registries and big data, emphasising the need for more detailed classification and reporting to truly capture surgical complexity. Finally, faculty highlight the economic realities of enabling technologies—balancing higher upfront costs against efficiency gains, reduced revision risk, and long-term value for patients and healthcare systems.
