Hip preservation surgery has evolved from near obscurity just a few decades ago to a more commonplace and accepted subspecialty of orthopedic surgery. The goal of hip preservation surgery is to preserve the patient’s native hip joint(s) through early diagnosis and, when indicated, surgical intervention. Given the relatively recent introduction and rise of this area of orthopedics, we still have much to learn about appropriate diagnoses, surgical techniques, and patient outcomes. The paper by Drs. Su and Thacker entitled, “Master Surgical Technique – One-stage Combined Hip Arthroscopy and Peri-Acetabular Osteotomy” is timely, as we are still learning how to best treat patients with both hip dysplasia and concomitant intra-articular pathology.
