Symptomatic Manifestations of Hip Dysplasia in Young Adults: How do Patients Present Before or After Surgery? Results from a Social Media Cohort
This study aimed to analyse the symptomatic differences of hip dysplasia before or after separate surgical interventions, including pain location and characteristics, severity, patient-reported outcomes, and a body pain diagram. A REDCap-based survey was distributed through social media from October 2023 to May 2024 and targeted individuals with current or past hip pain.
Comparative Outcomes of Hip Arthroscopy-Assisted Surgery and the Direct Anterior Approach for Pipkin Type I and II Femoral Head Fractures
Comparative evidence regarding the direct anterior approach and hip arthroscopy–assisted surgery for Pipkin type I and II fractures remains limited. This study compares these minimally invasive strategies and evaluates whether fragment excision or internal fixation yields superior functional outcomes.

Anterior Hip Anatomy for the Open Hip Preservation Surgeon
Supine, anterior-based hip surgery has been popularized over the last few decades, not just for arthroplasty but also for hip preservation indications. Hip surgeons have employed anterior approaches to safely perform periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), femoral osteochondroplasty, and open reduction of femoral neck fractures while minimizing the risk of disrupting blood supply to the femoral head, often in a muscle-sparing manner.

Surgical management techniques for avascular necrosis of the femoral head: a systematic review
Early surgical intervention for avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head can preserve the hip joint and delay the need for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of various surgical modalities to treat femoral head AVN as assessed by THA-free survivorship, radiographic failure, and patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs).
Why You Have Burning Hip Pain and What to Do
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint with cartilage covering the ball of the thigh bone and lining the socket of the pelvic bone. Tendons attach muscles in the upper leg and thigh. Burning hip pain develops when any of these components—cartilage, muscles, tendons, nerves, or the joint space—are defective, injured, or not working properly.
