OVERVIEW

The ISHA Annual Scientific Meeting is the flagship event of the International Society for Hip Preservation (ISHA). It brings together worldwide arthroscopic and open hip surgeons, hip preservationists, sports physicians and rehabilitation professionals, to present and exchange their knowledge, best practice and important results from their research.

On behalf of ISHA, the hip preservation society, it is our honour to announce the 15th ISHA Annual Scientific Meeting, to be held in beautiful South African “Mother City”, Cape Town.

We are delighted to be holding the ISHA ’23 for the first time on the African continent, cradle of humankind. Following the spirit of ISHA in our international representation, the scientific program will be structured around the seven rings representing the seven continents united by scientific education. The program will focus on the best and latest science and will aim to accommodate the needs and interests of everyone, from scientists, medical doctors from different specialities, to allied health professionals, and all with mutual interest in hip preservation. Everyone will have an opportunity to find their own interest among seven rings of topics:

• Patient Assessment and Pre-operative Planning
• Role of Biologics in Hip Preservation
• Patient Education
• Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality
• Arthroscopic Surgery
• Open Hip Surgery
• Nutrition, Well-being and Rehabilitation of the Elite Athlete and Others

As you will see, we are looking forward to have input from the perspectives of orthopaedic surgery, sports medicine/sports injury, pre- and post-operative rehabilitation, education and training to create a truly varied and comprehensive agenda.

This Meeting is a pinnacle of the hip preservation annual calendar and a great opportunity for the whole preservation family to get together, exchange knowledge in person, and continue expanding the international spirit.
