For 2021 we will focus the conference into a one day hybrid meeting. A top international faculty are providing technique based videos for common and the most challenging operations. Following each video an invited panel of surgeons will then discuss the presentation and will welcome comments from the audience on-line.

Now in it’s 11th year, convenors, Evert Smith, James Berstock & Prof Richie Gill look at the latest techniques and results, a must for all hip surgeon’s
