Abstract
Not all total hip arthroplasty cases are created equal is a maxim that holds true for both primary and revision scenarios. Complex cases involve patients presenting with compromised bone and/or soft tissue. For primary cases, these include hips with dysplasia, ankylosis, deformed proximal femora, protrusio acetabuli, prior hip fracture with or without failed fixation, previous bony procedures, or neuromuscular conditions. In revision surgery, complex scenarios include cases compromised by bone loss, deterioration of the soft tissues and resulting instability, periprosthetic fracture, leg length discrepancy, infection, and more recently, hypersensitivity reactions. In this interactive session, a moderator and team of experts will discuss strategies for evaluation and management of a variety of challenging hip case scenarios
