Vikas Khanduja (Cambridge, UK) describes his experience participating in the PCO Tour, which can be likened to a virtual fellowship. He also expresses his views on the future directions of hip preservation, emphasizing the importance of disease stratification with the assistance of artificial intelligence for precise prognostication. Finally, he highlights another aspect of future developments in orthopedic surgery, which involves meticulous preoperative planning and intraoperative implementation using technology, robots, and augmented reality.
