Total hip arthroplasty remains one of the most efficacious orthopaedic reconstructive procedures. This specialty currently faces several challenges, including increasing patient volume, reduction in the number of specialty arthroplasty surgeons performing this procedure, costs, and controversies centered on product liability and implant bearing surfaces. We have included the latest information from publications in major journals as well as abstracts of presentations at the 2010 Annual Meeting of the AAOS (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons), the 2010 Annual Meeting of the ORS (Orthopaedic Research Society), the 2010 Open Meeting of The Hip Society, the 2009 Annual Meeting of the AAHKS (American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons), and the 2009 fall meeting of The Hip Society.
