Dr. Pulik works at the Department of Orthopaedics, Clinical Center of the Medical University of Warsaw, Poland. He graduated in Medicine in 2017 and obtained his PhD in 2021 for his research on the influence of patient-related factors on total hip replacement surgery results. His main area of interest is hip and knee reconstruction surgery, including complex revision procedures using additive manufactured and resection implants. He is passionate about AI technology, including Machine Learning (ML) algorithms for diagnostic purposes in orthopedics such as hip ultrasonography. Dr. Pulik has written and presented on a range of topics related to joint diseases. He reviews articles for scientific journals, namely, BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, BMJ Open, PeerJ and Clinical Interventions in Aging. From June 2021, he is now the Reconstructive Orthopedics Research Group leader at the Medical University of Warsaw.

Collection Overview

Total hip replacement (THR) has shown a notable change in recent years regarding technical development and increased procedures volume. This symposium will discuss preoperative planning methods as well as the assessment of patient comorbidities and functioning. The authors are also invited to submit articles on new technologies used in THR, such as computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS), robotic hip surgery (RHS), mixed reality surgery (MRS), and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques. Other important issues such as implant positioning and imbalance in the sagittal plane affecting gait, material wear and implant stability are still being investigated. The challenging indications for complex THR are revision, conversion procedures, oncology, and surgery in active young patients. New biomaterials and additive manufactured (3D printed) implants are being developed for a more individualized approach in demanding cases.  After the surgery, the fast-track recovery and mobile applications in rehabilitation protocols are implemented more often. Despite the advances made, the prevention, diagnosis, and management of THR complications remain an important challenge.  With such a variety of surgical methods, types of implants, rehabilitation protocols used in THR, there is a need to systematize the current knowledge and provide consistent algorithms in THR. The current JoVE collection aims to demonstrate different standardized techniques and their applications used in all aspects of THR surgery.
