Description
The AHF Podcast features thoughtful conversations about orthopedic surgery, outcomes, and clinical decision-making, with a particular focus on hip surgery and related innovation.
Produced by the Anterior Hip Foundation, the podcast brings together surgeons, researchers, and clinical leaders to examine how evidence, experience, and real-world practice intersect. Episodes explore what the data actually shows, where assumptions break down, and how clinicians navigate uncertainty in daily practice.
This podcast is intended for orthopedic surgeons, trainees, and medically literate clinicians who value nuanced discussion, critical thinking, and honest examination of what improves patient care.

Send us Fan Mail Can you really revise a failed total hip through the anterior approach? Three surgeons who do it every week explain when they stay anterior, when they still go posterior, and how they plan the exposure. A practical roundtable on anterior approach revision hip arthroplasty for arthroplasty surgeons, fellows, and residents. The knock on anterior approach revision has always been that it is not extensile. Eric Cohen, Kris Alden, and Molly Hartzler take that head-on: from the A...
Send us Fan Mail Hip resurfacing was written off after the metal-on-metal era — but the patients kept coming back happy. Two surgeons who never stopped offering it explain what changed, and what a vitamin E polyethylene bearing does to the failure mode that ended it. For hip surgeons weighing whether resurfacing belongs in their toolkit, and for anyone interested in where orthopedic implant innovation actually comes from. Sharat Kusuma left clinical practice to lead JointMedica as CEO, deve...
Send us Fan Mail Dislocation after anterior approach total hip replacement still runs around 2% in the first two years — so what actually moves that number? Three hip surgeons work through instability prevention end to end, from the first clinic visit to the final construct. The anterior approach has pushed dislocation rates in the right direction, but it has not solved instability — and the belief that it has is where surgeons get caught. In this roundtable, Jeff Barry, Blair Ashley, and C...
Send us Fan Mail What if the C-arm you already own could show you the entire pelvis — in real time, with less radiation? The winners of the 2026 AHF Shark Tank believe it can, and they built the system to prove it. Dr. Dean Cole, an orthopedic trauma surgeon with roughly 40 patents and designs licensed across the industry, and Scott Banks, PhD, who has spent nearly four decades quantifying how joints actually move under fluoroscopy across more than 200 published papers, join Joe Schwab to te...
Send us Fan Mail What do you do when the foot slips out of the traction boot mid-case — and a manageable periprosthetic fracture becomes a femur in pieces? Dr. Nick Mast has an answer, because it happened to him. Nick Mast, a hip and pelvis surgeon in private practice in San Francisco, trained under Joel Matta at the Hip and Pelvis Institute in 2007–2008 and completed hip preservation training in Europe. He's also a second-generation surgeon — son of fracture-surgery pioneer Jeff Mast — and ...
