Video Transcription

Video Summary

Steve Aoki, from the University of Utah, discusses hip arthroscopy rehabilitation and revision in the ANNA toolkit series. Successful surgeries target the soft tissue and bony morphology, with patient-specific rehabilitation plans following. Ideal rehab protocols balance functional and time progression, avoiding extremes to prevent deconditioning or injury. A slow but steady improvement post-surgery is encouraged. Factors influencing recovery include patient age, quality of initial surgery, and potential complications like capsular failure. Difficult cases may prompt re-evaluation, considering structural issues or alternative surgical options. Close monitoring and targeted non-surgical interventions are emphasized for better patient outcomes.
