They explore hip arthroscopy, labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement, hip dysplasia, pelvic osteotomy, cartilage damage, and how surgeons decide which patients are good candidates for hip preservation procedures.

Dr. Shaw also shares insights into anterior total hip replacement, the bikini incision technique, surgical outcomes, success rates, and why hip arthroscopy is a highly specialized procedure that should be performed by surgeons with significant experience.
