Excellent commentary on the efficacy of psoas release in painful total hips. The most common symptoms I see of psoas pain after total hip are 1) groin pain, 2) difficulty lifting leg in/out of bed/car and 3) pain walking up/down stairs/incline.

Large CAMs can be taxing and take a long time to reshape. But can yield the most rewarding before and after photo shoots 📸

It’s important to ask your surgeon if they use a post or are a post-less hip arthroscopist. Head-to-head it makes a difference on your outcome and pain level!!

This article highlights the importance of proper technique during hip arthroscopy. You should be asking your surgeon 1) how often are you doing labral debridement vs repair? This should be overwhelmingly a repair. 2) how often do you perform labral reconstructions? A proper functioning labrum is critical to outcome. Your hip deserves a surgeon who is comfortable with labral reconstructions in a primary and revision setting. 3) do you close the capsule? To me this is a red flag. Capsule management and repair are pivotal in the long-term outcome of your hip. A yes answer to these questions can be the difference between a 3 and 30% chance of having your hip replaced at 10 years!!!

Paying attention to fixation principles is paramount to avoid catastrophe. Thankfully arthroplasty can often times come in and save the day when disaster strikes. Patient hadn’t been able to walk for 3 months since their initial injury. Was walking with a walker the day of surgery.

Subtrochanteric femur fractures can be difficult to reduce and fix given the muscle forces acting on the fragments. My preferred technique is a traction pin, K-bow and weights to hold reduction but allow manipulation of the leg to reduce the length of time on the struggle bus 🚌 🦴 🔨

Subtrochanteric femur fractures can be difficult to fix given muscle forces acting on the broken fragments. Traction pin, K-bow and some weight can help reduce the fracture but allow manipulation of the leg and significantly reduce the ride on the struggle bus. 🚌 🦴 🔨

Been a while since I’ve seen one ground through the subchondral bone. Poor patient hadn’t been able to walk for nearly a year.
