A2: Morphology and Kinematics of the Arthritic Hip

Recent research suggests that the adult human hip joint is not always spherical in shape and may not have the motion of an ideal ball-and-socket mechanism. This workshop will consider the basic science and clinical applications of: population variability of pelvic shape; the shape and kinematics of osteo-arthritic joints; clinical implications of using population averages and/or individual variability in arthroplasty alignment; and current disputes in hip morphology.

The workshop is designed to be of interest to both technical and clinical participants.
