International Society for Hip Arthroscopy (ISHA)
ISHA – The Hip Preservation Society has been the creation of many individuals, each united by a common interest in the expanding arena of hip preservation.
The Society (originally the International Society for Hip Arthroscopy) was officially formed in Paris (France) in May 2008 with a focus on hip arthroscopic surgery, and its Founding Members represent but a few of the many individuals around the world who are interested in this evolving area of hip surgery.
At its outset, hip arthroscopy attracted the surgical and scientific innovator, the clinician with an eye for the unusual idea. Instrumentation was often handmade and company support was lacking. Now, training courses around the world are frequently oversubscribed, peer-reviewed publications are increasing in number and hip arthroscopic surgery is well established.
