Today's hip edition examines four key areas of hip surgery research. We review a systematic review comparing safety outcomes between postless and post-assisted hip arthroscopy techniques, showing significant reductions in nerve injuries with the postless approach. We then explore how surgical approach affects intraoperative femoral fracture risk in total hip arthroplasty, discuss population-level survival disparities after hip fractures in Chile's healthcare system, and conclude with long-term return-to-sport outcomes in basketball players following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.
