ISHA - The Hip Preservation Society Our vision is to be the premier international society for education and research in hip preservation

ISHA – The Hip Preservation Society is an international organisation which is focused on hip preservation surgery to enhance patient care and outcomes, through the delivery of training, education, support of research, sharing of knowledge and best practice, fostering global collaboration and provision of patient and professional information to improve hip care. Our mission is to create “healthy hips” by bringing hip preservation, prevention and treatment to all people regardless of age, social status, gender or economic situation. Our vision is a world with equitable access to quality treatment and the best achievable patient outcomes through improved access to appropriate treatment, early intervention, prevention and education, with the goal of us living in a world where hip joint replacement is only an occurrence of old age. ISHA’s purpose is to advance, enhance, and raise awareness of the field of hip preservation, to facilitate early intervention to improve patient outcomes.

At the end of last year we issued a call for expressions of interest in joining ISHA committees and received the biggest response to date, with over 140 members putting their names forward!

The long process of sorting volunteers into appropriate committees, subcommittees and taskforces is now complete, and all members that expressed an interest should now have received an email indicating their allocated positions. Kick-off calls will be taking place over the coming weeks.

📢 Webinar - Current Concepts on Hip Instability

Join our panel of experts to discuss all matters relating to issues primarily for physiotherapists caused by and around hip instability.

🗓 Saturday, 31st January 2026
⌚️ 09:00 – 10:30 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST) / 14:00 – 15:00 GMT/UTC.

This open‑access webinar provides a comprehensive overview of the continuum of hip instability, from subtle microinstability to obvious macroinstability.

Hip instability is an increasingly recognized contributor to non‑arthritic hip pain, often arising from capsulolabral insufficiency and/or bony abnormalities of the femur and acetabulum. A clear understanding of the interplay between soft‑tissue structures and osseous morphology is essential for accurate evaluation and effective management of patients presenting with potential instability.

Through case studies, video demonstrations, and expert commentary, participants will gain practical, clinically applicable insights into the multidisciplinary management of individuals across the hypermobility–instability spectrum.

The annual International is on 24th January.

At ISHA, we believe that advancing hip preservation starts with shared knowledge, continuous learning, and global collaboration.

Through education and training, we support healthcare professionals in developing best practices in hip preservation surgery, while also empowering patients with the information they need to make informed decisions about their care.

From delivering world-class educational programmes and supporting research, to fostering international collaboration and sharing expertise across borders, education remains at the heart of ISHA’s mission to improve hip care globally.

Today, we celebrate the importance of education in shaping better outcomes, for professionals, for patients, and for the future of hip preservation.

We’d like to recognise several long-standing members whose dedication to ISHA and to advancing excellence in hip preservation has spanned many years...

Dr Diana Silas is a hospital-affiliated orthopaedic surgeon practising in metro-Detroit within a multi-specialty orthopaedic group.

Having completed her sports medicine fellowship at the University of Rochester and dedicating a large portion of her fellowship to hip arthroscopy, Dr Silas’ practice is focused on arthroscopic procedures, with a large portion being hip arthroscopy.

Dr Silas is a long-term contributor to ISHA and recently joined the Editorial Taskforce within the Education Committee.

Thank you, Diana!

Title of Study: Prior hip arthroscopy impacts long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty : a propensity-matched study with a minimum ten-year follow-up

Authors: Roger Quesada-Jimenez, Elizabeth G Walsh, Ady H Kahana-Rojkind, Drashti Sikligar, Krishi Rana, Benjamin G Domb.

Journal Reference: Bone Joint Open. September 2025 Volume 6 Issue 9 Page 1022-1030. https://doi.org/10.1302/2633-1462.69.BJO-2025-0064

Key Takeaways⁣
Long-term comparative analysis of patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a history of previous ipsilateral hip arthroscopy (PA) to a propensity-score matched control group of primary THA with no prior hip arthroscopy (NPA).

The PA group was propensity-score matched 1:1 based on age at THA, BMI, s*x, robotic assistance, approach, and laterality to the NPA group.

Clinical hip arthroplasty outcome thresholds, complications, and revision surgery rates were compared between cohorts. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to assess survivorship.

A total of 108 patients were included, 54 in each group.

The groups displayed comparable outcomes at minimum ten-year follow-up, for mHHS (p = 0.370), HHS (p = 0.370), HOOS-JR (p = 0.380), FJS (p = 0.250), VAS (p = 0.150), and patient satisfaction (p = 0.310).

The PA group exhibited a significantly higher complication rate, with 11 major complications compared to two in the NPA group, translating to a relative risk of 2.8 (p < 0.033)

Conclusion
Patients undergoing primary THA with a history of prior hip arthroscopy achieve similar long-term functional outcomes compared to a propensity-matched control group. However, they face a 2.8-fold increased risk of complications and a 4.5-fold higher risk of major complications requiring revision THA.
