Core Tip
Core Tip: This editorial highlighted the transformative potential of integrating finite element analysis (FEA) into total hip arthroplasty for adults with sequelae from childhood hip disorders. FEA aids in preoperative planning, implant customization, and surgical technique optimization by providing detailed biomechanical insights. Advanced imaging techniques, such as 3D printing, virtual reality, and augmented reality, further enhance precision. Future research should focus on validating FEA models, developing patient-specific simulations, and promoting multidisciplinary collaboration to improve outcomes and quality of life for these complex cases.
