Welcome to this introductory episode of the AHF podcast. The official podcast of the anterior hip foundation. I'm your host, Joe Schwab. The Anterior Hip Foundation was created to foster a community anchored around surgeon, innovators, collaborators, and educators. All dedicated to a single purpose, advancing the technology techniques and outcomes around hip surgery. By sharing our experiences, openly battle testing our innovations in front of our peers and partnering with industry to move important advancements to market, the AHF is the Vanguard of surgical disruption. Many people who have participated in AHF events have noted how much the organization feels like a family. We're serious without taking ourselves too seriously. We can disagree and still support each other. We embrace passion as well as practicality. That's what we hope to achieve with this podcast. Through conversations with our leaders, our members, our partners, and all those we serve. We hope to shine a spotlight on what makes the AHF unique. Here are just a few clips of conversations coming up in our first season.

Hopefully not anytime soon.

Charles M. Lawrie: 2:02

There was this aha moment at the end of the procedure where, you take all the retractors out and the tensor muscle belly falls back where it should be. And the skin closes together nicely, and it just felt so much more anatomic and so much less invasive

Neil P. Sheth: 2:18

I realized in that instant. Everyone has the best intention, but maybe what we're doing today is not the right model. We got to do something different, right?
