President’s Report

Greetings from Vail, Colorado. I hope you are all enjoying a beautiful summer. As I reflect
on the success of our society, I cannot help but admire how fast our profession has evolved
over the past 50 yrs. My father is a general surgeon who was trained in almost all surgical
sub-specialties. He always treated his patients with utmost compassion. We are now more
focused on our training, but we still have the same compassion in treating our patients.
 It is amazing to think that some of us are performing surgeries only in the hip joint.

NICE had recommended inclusion of this type of surgery
into a non-arthroplasty hip register.

Since its introduction, the NAHR has been refined
continuously and data entry has been simplified. The
Minimum dataset (MDS) includes two validated patient
reported outcomes scores: EQ5D and iHOT12 and
operative findings at surgery. Surgeons conducting this type
of hip surgery enter data, and patients are then contacted
for information about their progress via e-mail at regular
intervals post-operatively. Cases from both the National
