Preface

The 32nd Japanese Hip Society (JHS) Congress was held November 6–8, 2005, in

Niigata, Japan. Guest speakers from many countries and specialists for hip disease

presented papers that focused on joint preservation for osteoarthritis of the hip, joint

preservation for aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, treatment for epiphyseolysis

capitis femoris, and up-to-date information and knowledge on joint arthroplasty.

Altogether, there were many important presentations about joint preservation and

replacement. This book covers the main themes of the congress.

The starting point for the treatment of hip disease depends on how we can preserve

the natural hip joint and on steps leading to regeneration of the diseased, injured, or

destroyed joint. Preservation and regeneration treatments following traditional and

theoretical methods do not need to use expensive materials, such as the artiﬁcial

joints used in arthroplasty. On the other hand, preservation and regeneration treat-

ments are difﬁcult to perform and require a lengthy rehabilitation period.

Recently, too much attention has been paid to these demerits, resulting in a yearly

decrease in the number of cases receiving joint-preserving treatment. This move away

from traditional methods denies the surgeon the experience and knowledge of the

beneﬁts associated with the most biologically appropriate treatment. As the president

of JHS and a hip surgeon, I believe there is a need to halt this tendency, to promote

the beneﬁts of histological treatment, and to allow the young surgeon insight into

joint-preservation surgery. Also, as a hip surgeon I am not neglecting joint replace-

ment as a treatment for hip disease. I, myself, perform total hip arthroplasty for

patients with severely damaged hip joints and those who have no other therapeutic

choice than joint-replacement surgery.

As an editor of this book, I am very hopeful that readers gain insight into the proper

treatment of hip disease.
