AAOS total hip arthroplasty — 30 lectures on primary and revision approaches
The total hip arthroplasty techniques course from AAOS, AAHKS, and The Hip Society brings the finished live event to your screen with 30 lectures from distinguished faculty. Content is segmented by topic so you can pick up where you left off or jump to specific sessions — covering contemporary approaches for preoperative planning and execution of both primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.

Inside this resource
Preoperative planning and approach selection
Faculty walk through thorough preoperative planning for primary total hip arthroplasty — including medical optimization, stem designs, fixation options, and bearing surfaces. A dedicated module addresses approach options for primary THR, comparing direct anterior, anterolateral, and posterior approaches to the hip joint so you can match approach to patient anatomy and clinical scenario.
Revision THR and managing bone loss
The course tackles revision total hip arthroplasty with the same rigor — describing the extensile approach for revision THR, managing the extent of bone loss and deformity, and formulating strategies for defects on both the femur and acetabulum. These sessions give you a systematic framework for the complex revision cases that demand more than standard primary technique.
Complications and emerging technologies
Postoperative complications receive focused attention: fracture management, infection control, dislocation prevention, and adverse local tissue reactions. The program also includes patient cases, surgical video demonstrations, and emerging technologies that are shaping the future of hip arthroplasty practice.
Who this serves
- Adult reconstruction surgeons — comprehensive hip arthroplasty technique refinement from primary through revision
- Orthopedic surgery residents — structured learning path through the full spectrum of THR decision-making
- Orthopedic nurse practitioners — understanding surgical planning and complication management to support postoperative care

Kathleen W. –
Strong coverage of primary and revision hip arthroplasty. The approach comparison module was particularly useful for my practice. I would have liked more surgical video but the lectures are comprehensive.
David K. –
Good content from a strong faculty lineup. The preoperative planning module with stem designs and fixation options is well-organized. The emerging technologies section provides a nice forward-looking perspective.
Robert M. –
The revision THR sessions are outstanding. The systematic approach to managing bone loss and acetabular defects gave me a framework I use in every complex case. Well worth the investment.
Jennifer H. –
Essential viewing for anyone doing hip arthroplasty. The extensile approach for revision THR was particularly well-taught. The ability to jump between topics makes this easy to integrate into a busy schedule.
Steven L. –
This course does an excellent job covering the full THR spectrum. The complication management sessions — especially on infection and dislocation — are practical and directly applicable. The on-demand format is convenient.
