Extract

The understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of arthritic hip disease in young patients are rapidly evolving. A variety of new and refined surgical techniques are now being utilized worldwide, and continued progress in this realm of orthopaedics is inevitable. Nevertheless, there are major challenges to optimize the introduction and utilization of these procedures on a more widespread basis. In this American Orthopaedic Association (AOA) symposium, the attendees were asked whether "the overall quality of diagnostic evaluation and surgical treatment of prearthritic and early arthritic hip disease in the United States is optimal, acceptable or deficient"¹. Fifty-seven percent of the respondents answered that diagnostic and surgical care is deficient, indicating a need for improved medical management of these patients.
