In this special recap episode, I revisit highlights from recent episodes of Straight from the Hip, covering topics including social media’s influence on patient narratives, burnout and work-life boundaries, and the evolving landscape of hip preservation.

I share insights from conversations with Joel Wells, Chris Iobst, and Ben Domb, respond to listener questions, and reflect on how centers of excellence and training in hip surgery should be defined.

The episode also touches on recent findings in infantile hip dysplasia from guests like Evelyn Kuong, Harry Kim, Shevaun Doyle, and Wesley Theunissen, emphasizing thoughtful, evidence-based care.
