Description
Course Objectives
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Recognise and Prevent Intraoperative Problems
- Identify contributors towards femoral fissure/fracture
- Practise techniques to avoid femoral fissure/fracture
- Optimise acetabular preparation for the saucerized acetabulum
- Prevent and recover from eccentric acetabular reaming
Complication Management — Hands-On
- Apply appropriate management strategies for femoral fracture during surgery, including cerclage wiring, bone plating, and implant modification techniques
- Practise acetabular cup revision techniques
- Practise femoral stem revision techniques
Clinical Decision-Making
- Review preoperative and intraoperative decision-making through case presentations and discussions
- Apply “what next” thinking across both common and uncommon complication scenarios
- Explore and discuss available technologies for improving surgical outcomes
Learning from Expert Practice
- Observe experienced instructors demonstrate complication management techniques in real time on cadaveric specimens
- Tableside expert mentorship to hone and advance your surgical skills
- Debrief and discuss outcomes, including when decisions proved harder than expected
Presentation and Review of Case Material from Attending Surgeons
This has proven to be a very valuable part of this workshop. We invite you to submit one or two cases for discussion as a PowerPoint presentation. Please submit these to info@practicalcpd.com by 5th January 2027.
In general, these should be challenging or complex cases from your THR caseload. Examples include:
- A novel indication for THR
- A complication of THR that was predictable but not prevented
- A high-risk THR in which a successful outcome was engineered
- A case where preoperative radiology suggested that advanced imaging or 3D modelling should be performed
- Use of intraoperative imaging
- Revision strategy for a THR complication
- A case that required modification to the standard surgical technique
- THR implant failure — why did this happen?
Prerequisite and Online Course Material
The educational journey to learn Total Hip Replacement has been developed in conjunction with many of the industry’s leading orthopaedic surgeons. All attendees are expected to have comprehensive foundational and advanced orthopaedic knowledge and caseload.
