Every now and again, an idea comes along and challenges the way things are done. It commands the attention it garners by making surgery safer and more efficient, supplanting the old standard with a new paradigm nearly overnight. The Pink Hip Kit® is just that sort of concept. Post-free distraction was pioneered by Dr. Mei-Dan, and as that idea has led to innovation in post-free distraction, we were able to adapt this concept and achieve distraction through the Pink Hip Kit®. The Pink Hip Kit® was designed and developed as a safe and effective technique that utilizes your standard hip distraction table for hip arthroscopy. Simply follow our described technique for distraction, remove your post, and leave your surgical operative technique unaltered. In the times of budget restrictions, the Pink Hip Kit® eliminates the need to purchase a new distraction table by simply removing the perineal post from your existing orthopedic hip table — everything old is new and safer for your patients. We have found our patients have statistically less pain, experience a faster time to discharge, consume less post operative narcotics and eliminates groin and pudendal nerve complications. It is very exciting to see a product that will change the hip arthroscopy landscape Robert C Kollmorgen D.O.
