The Journal of Hip Preservation Surgery (JHPS) is not the only place where work in the field of hip preservation may be published.

In a population-based analysis, Schairer et al [1] from Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, evaluated the conversion rate to total hip replacement (THR) within 2 years of hip arthroscopy and the influence of age, arthritis and obesity on the rate of conversion. The data were obtained from the State Ambulatory Surgery Databases and State Inpatient Databases for California and Florida from 2005 to 2012, which contain 100% of patient visits. Hip arthroscopy patients were tracked for subsequent primary THR within 2 years. Outof-state patients and patients with
