Navigating Hip Arthroplasties: Technology and Techniques

This chapter delves into the implications of different bearing surfaces in hip arthroplasties while comparing ceramic on polyethylene and ceramic on ceramic options. The conversation highlights the integration of advanced technologies, such as AI and robotic systems, alongside traditional surgical techniques, particularly in addressing complex cases like femoral osteotomies and leg length discrepancies. Emphasizing careful planning and precision, the speakers explore the challenges posed by varying anatomical structures and the importance of using specialized instruments and imaging techniques during hip surgeries.
