This thesis is a compilation of published manuscripts arising from research activities that I have undertaken over the last ten years in relation to the surgical management of adult hip joint disorders. The objectives of these research activities have been to improve the outcomes of the surgical procedures performed within my own clinical practice and to share my conclusions more broadly with the orthopaedic community by publication.

The objectives of these research activities have been to improve the outcomes of the surgical procedures performed within my own clinical practice and to share my conclusions more broadly with the orthopaedic community by publication. Typically my publications are of a practical nature, often relating to the technical aspects of the conduct of surgery. They represent my attempts to answer questions that have arisen during my day-to-day clinical practice as an orthopaedic surgeon. The themes that constitute the majority of the material included within this thesis relate to the development of innovative surgical techniques, testing the validity of traditional methods of orthopaedic practice and the management of difficult clinical presentations. As my clinical practice and associated research activities span a number of topics within the broader discipline of adult hip joint surgery, I have divided this thesis into four chapters. Each chapter contains manuscripts that relate to a distinct area of my clinical practice - Perioperative Management, Trauma Management, Hip Arthroscopy and Elective Hip Arthroplasty. At the start of each chapter, a content introduction and concise background of the contained material is provided. A chronologic listing of each of the manuscripts contained within this thesis is provided in Appendix 1.
