I congratulate Dr. Guanche on getting 47 of the leading authorities in hip pathology to contribute to the 1st edition of this book...I'd recommend the book to every orthopaedic surgeon treating young adult hip pathology particularly trainees starting a job with exposure to hip arthroscopy. It belongs on the shelves of all orthoapedic units involved in treating young adult hips. Amgad Nakhla, MD; International Musculoskeletal Medicine, June 2011
