AHF Podcast
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.
