First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study records hip replacement surgeries performed through a front-of-hip approach, breaking down each step to create a standard surgical model. Researchers will analyze videos from multiple hospitals to identify common patterns and variations. The goal is to improve surgical training and consistency, not to test a new drug or device.
