APPROVED COURSE REPORTS
Santander Hip Meeting
The Tenth International Santander Hip Meeting and Fifth Course Video Technique GIPCA group, which took place on February 14-15, 2019, in Santander, Spain, brought together world-renowned experts in hip surgery for a 2-day conference featuring presentations and video techniques on the most advanced care for patients with hip pathology. The meeting had 185 participants (164 registrants and 21 distinguished speakers). The extensive program covered all aspects of hip surgery, including recent advances and controversies in the important areas of hip preservation and hip replacement.
International experts travelled from Brazil, Colombia, the US, many countries throughout Europe (Ireland, UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, and Spain) to present their experience to the delegates, which included orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine doctors, and health-care professionals.
Day 1 began with the opening address from the chairman and organizer Dr. Luis Perez Carro, which was followed by concise review of the important basic principles of anatomy, examination, and imaging of hip pathology by Dr. Luis Cerezal and Dr. Moises Hernando. Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome was main topic of the morning, with many experts, including Dr. Michael Dienst, presenting videos demonstrating techniques of osseous deformity correction and methods of repair for the labrum and the hip capsule. Discussions included the latest peer- reviewed publications on the evidence behind treatment methods and outcomes and included a presentation on the recent UK FASHIoN randomized controlled FAI study by Prof. Damian Griffin. The pathogenesis and clinical presentation of sports-related femoroacetabular impingement (SRFAI) in symptomatic athletes were presented by Dr. Patrick Carlton.
Successful meetings require the support of our industry partners, and an excellent “pit stop” session following lunch featured a short presentation on the latest developments of material and tools from each of the industry partners associated with the meeting.
The afternoon session focused on extra-articular, deep gluteal, and peritrochanteric conditions and treatment. The combined experience of both our national experts in Spain and Portugal (Dr. Luis Perez Carro, Dr. Rafael Arriaza, and Pedro Dantas), along with Dr. Juan Gómez de Hoyos (Colombia) and Dr. Hal Martin (USA), delivered an incredible session covering the basic science, diagnosis, and treatment of these difficult conditions.
On Day 2, the morning sessions focused on some of the most controversial areas in hip preservation surgery, including femoral torsion, acetabular version, and hip instability, with several experts (Dr. Raul Torres, Dr. Jesús Mas, and Dr. Marc Tey) presenting the relevant basic science and up-to-date diagnosis and treatment options for a variety of associated hip conditions.
The afternoon sessions focused on complex morphological hip conditions, with hip dysplasia taking center stage; the roles of both arthroscopy and open preservation techniques were presented and discussed comprehensively, with experts Dr. Dean Matsuda (USA) and Dr. Paulo Rego (Portugal) offering their professional experience and surgical techniques.
A final session on recent advances in hip arthroplasty included wide-ranging presentations and much discussion on a wide range of topics, including the anterior approach and rapid recovery following total hip arthroplasty (Dr. Nicholas Bonin [France]), hemi-resurfacing for AVN (Dr. Lafayette Lage [Brazil]), the use of short stems (Dr. Boris García [Spain]), and the findings of an international consensus on the diagnosis, investigation, and management of periprosthetic infection (Dr. Oliver Marin [Spain]).
The Tenth International Santander Hip Meeting was an outstanding success. The wealth of knowledge, the quality of the presentations, the focus on video techniques, and the enthusiasm of the expert faculty delivered a captivating program for all of the delegates and provided a wonderful opportunity for the faculty to present the results of their results and to catch up with friends and colleagues. We are already looking forward to the next edition of this Santander Hip Meeting.
