When Things Don’t Go According to Plan in the Operating Room

The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you another very special episode that focuses on the operating room. In this episode, we’ll be discussing how we navigate the moments in total hip arthroplasty when things don’t go exactly as planned. Although we spend a great deal of time in arthroplasty on pre optimization, challenges are inevitable, even in well selected patients. But we’ll look at how we respond during those moments that ultimately define the outcomes. 

Our host Kim K. Tucker, MD was joined by Peter A. Gold, MD, William G. Hamilton, MD, David C. Landy, MD, PhD, Elizabeth G. Lieberman, MD who unpacked their approach, what they do when there are problems on the socket side or getting the cup to stick. These are issues that arise regularly and not just for those early in their career but for even the most seasoned surgeons. 

We think all arthroplasty surgeons can benefit from this recording. Tune in for the full recording and thanks for listening to The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut!
