Managing Hip Arthritis in Active Patients

One of the central challenges in modern hip care is treating hip osteoarthritis in active patients. As patients continue to participate in sports, exercise, and physically demanding activities later in life, surgeons must consider more than simply relieving pain.
The Chicago Hip Summit explores strategies for evaluating active patients with hip arthritis, selecting appropriate treatments, preserving function, and determining when surgical intervention may be necessary. Discussions incorporate current research, clinical experience, surgical techniques, and evolving treatment options.

Learn From Leaders in Hip Surgery

The summit brings together experienced hip specialists from across the United States and internationally. Faculty share their expertise through lectures, panel discussions, surgical technique presentations, research updates, and case-based discussions.
Attendees have the opportunity to learn directly from surgeons who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of complex hip conditions.

Research and Innovation in Hip Care

Research is central to the Chicago Hip Summit. Presentations highlight new findings in hip preservation, biomechanics, surgical outcomes, orthobiologics, and hip replacement.
By bringing researchers and clinicians together, the summit creates an environment where emerging evidence can be translated into improved approaches to patient care.
