Why the study?
Despite the increasing popularity of hip preservation, the subspecialty lacks well-established training programs and career pathways.
This article highlights the growth of hip preservation as a subspecialty and the need for established training pathways.
Highlights rapid expansion of hip preservation; leaves open standardization of training and long-term outcomes.
The growth of hip preservation as an orthopaedic subspecialty has seen a surge in recent years, with more procedures being performed and more surgeons pursuing a career in this field. Hip preservation aims to prevent or delay the onset of degenerative changes in the hip, addressing both intra-articular and periarticular causes of hip pain in non-arthritic patients and consequently the procedures are mostly performed on active, young patients. Despite its increasing popularity, hip preservation lacks well-established training programs and career pathways. In this article, we will examine the current practices, evolution, and the state of training pathways for hip preservation surgery. This article will also delve into the current state of hip preservation, including its applications, practices, and development as a subspecialty.
