Does that factor into whether or not you're considering doing it from anterior versus posterior? Do you consider sort of the reliability of achieving your goals of correction versus when do you think exposure becomes the limiting factor?
15:50
Yeah.
15:50
I mean, I love doing anterior approach revisions for instability.
15:53
I'll do those actually supine on a flat table so I can test stability and drop both anterior and posterior.
16:02
And exposure is really not a problem with the anterior approach.
16:05
I think The advantage of the anterior approach, and oftentimes instability can be solved with changing acetabular cup orientation or version.
16:13
The advantage is the acetabulum.

And what I'm curious about from your perspective is as our techniques and our implants and our planning tools have evolved and continue to evolve, is there something that excites you most about what we might be able to do in the future in anterior approach revision? And what do we still need to approach with maybe a little bit more respect and caution?
