I had a wonderful time serving as faculty at last week's Stryker National Fellows Course I was so impressed by the caliber of sports medicine fellows who will soon be joining the ranks of sports medicine orthopedic surgeons — the future of this field is in great hands. A huge thank you to Stryker Sports Medicine for their ongoing commitment to sports medicine surgeon education. Events like this make such a meaningful difference in shaping the next generation of surgeons. 🙌

Ever wonder about borderline hip dysplasia, and whether it’s best treated with hip arthroscopy or periacetabular osteotomy? If so, check out our review article in Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine!

Borderline hip dysplasia remains one of the biggest gray zones in hip preservation. Current evidence shows improved outcomes with both hip arthroscopy and PAO — reinforcing the importance of individualized treatment based on instability, impingement, and patient-specific pathology.

Honored and deeply grateful to receive the Clinical Educator Excellence Award as part of the 2026 Physician Excellence Awards at UW Health. This recognition is especially meaningful knowing it represents the incredible academic and clinical community across the entire UW Health enterprise — more than 2,000 physicians across six hospitals and 100+ outpatient locations throughout Wisconsin and Illinois, many of whom are outstanding educators, mentors, and faculty physicians. Teaching and mentorship are some of the most rewarding parts of medicine, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work alongside amazing learners, colleagues, staff and patients every day. Thank you to everyone who continues to inspire me to grow as both a physician and educator. Thank you especially to my nominators, whose support and advocacy elevated me to this recognition. Congrats to all the 2026 Award winners!

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting Dr. Sophie Strike as our UW Ortho Visiting Grand Rounds speaker.
Dr. Strike delivered an engaging and insightful presentation, making the topic of hand and tumor pathology accessible and compelling to all subspecialties. It was especially meaningful to welcome a former Johns Hopkins co-resident to Wisconsin—an opportunity to reconnect, exchange expertise, and foster collaboration across institutions. We were grateful for the opportunity to learn from an outstanding educator and surgeon!

Feeling incredibly grateful after an amazing trip to São Paulo as an invited speaker at the Sociedade Brasileira do Quadril & ISHA Brazilian Symposium on Hip Preservation (Simpósio Brasileiro de Cirurgia Preservadora) last week. It was an unforgettable experience, and so special to reconnect with friends, meet new ones, and collaborate across borders. Amazing people, meaningful knowledge exchange, and the warmest Brazilian hospitality 🇧🇷

Earlier in April we had the honor of hosting Dr. Guillaume Girardot at UW Orthopedics/UW Sports Medicine. It was a wonderful exchange of ideas and discussion on the difference in American and French orthopaedics and treatment of joint preservation. And I was fortunate enough to then reconnect with Dr. Girardot in Vail, Colorado!

📊 New Consensus on Imaging Hip Instability
A new international Delphi consensus published in Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research helps bring clarity to a long-standing challenge: how best to image and diagnose hip instability.
✅ Radiographs (AP pelvis, false-profile, Dunn) remain first-line
✅ MRI and CT are essential adjuncts for soft tissue and 3D bony assessment
✅ Clear diagnostic thresholds endorsed for LCEA, Tönnis angle, AWI, PWI, and version
⚠️ Less consensus for newer soft-tissue and dynamic measures (e.g., FEAR index, ultrasound)
Bottom line: Hip instability diagnosis should be stepwise, multimodal, and clinically integrated—not based on single measurements.
Proud to be part of an incredible international, multidisciplinary effort to standardize care and identify priorities for future research.
