In this podcast episode we have a conversation with Mr Andrew Tang, Director of the Epworth Musculoskeletal Clinical Institute and an experienced orthopaedic surgeon operating at Epworth Richmond and St John of God Berwick since the early 1990’s. He has a particular interest in robotic knee surgery which allows improved accuracy with implant positioning and as the convenor of the Internal Orthopaedic Audit at Epworth Health he is in an excellent situation to review approaches to hip surgery, including the increasingly popular anterior approach. The ratio of knee to hip surgery currently being conducted in Australia is nearly 2:1 and it is estimated that by 2030 there will be up to 161,000 total knee replacements and 79,000 total hip replacements. Undoubtedly this figure will be contributed to by our aging population and relative obesity epidemic. Please join me in this excellent conversation with Andrew Tang as he reviews:
· Robotic knee surgery
· Surgical approaches to hip surgery
