Academic Network of Conservational Hip Outcomes Research (ANCHOR)

ANCHOR is a multicenter clinical research group investigating adolescent and adult hip disorders. The group seeks to improve patient care by collecting data from patients undergoing hip surgery in order to analyze the effects of surgical treatment on patients with hip problems and over time to better identify and characterize the most important determinants for treatment outcomes while improving the diagnosis, surgical care, and quality of life of patients with the pre-arthritic hip disease (femoroacetabular impingement and dysplasia).
