Lateral approach to the hip

Again, you did an outstanding job! I’ve always wondered about this anatomy and the difference between why we’re using a Charnley retractor and why we’re not. I totally get it now and then some. 

Thank you for continually teaching me more than I expect to learn. I mean it doesn’t get any better than doing the same thing over and over again and not understanding why, to watching a procedure and fully comprehending what you struggled to understand all along. 

I read.. a lot. Being able to see, do, and grasp the information I’m given and absorb it makes me so grateful. This app is really something. 

During my three months of training in ortho years ago, I was taught surgeons preferences. Now, it all comes full circle and I guarantee it will improve my performance.

We have many differences, as far as methods of completing a THA & TKA, but a knee is a knee and a hip is a hip no mater how you approach it, the job gets done.

**(If I may, I recommend teaching the iAssist TKA using 2 pods or 4 from Zimmer/Biomet and the Persona system. (Both are very popular and commonly used here). It’s modern and what I believe orthopedics will evolve to. Also, Makoplasty hips and unilateral knee replacements using robots with implants from Stryker are also becoming more common.

Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s opened my eyes to something that has taken years for me to understand through participation, and only minutes to identify with and embrace through your app.
