However, as this study highlights, the needs, priorities, and recovery experiences of younger patients are often markedly different\u2014and frequently overlooked. The research calls for more personalised and age-sensitive care pathways that move beyond assumptions about rapid recovery and consider the broader biopsychosocial needs of younger patients.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1899\" data-end=\"2153\">The study was supervised by Professor Tom Wainwright alongside Professor Vanessa Heaslip (University of Salford) and Tikki Immins. It adds to a growing body of ORI research championing patient-centred, inclusive approaches to orthopaedic care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2155\" data-end=\"2300\">Read the full article here: <a href=\"https:\/\/boneandjoint.org.uk\/article\/10.1302\/2633-1462.67.BJO-2025-0013.R1\/pdf\">https:\/\/boneandjoint.org.uk\/article\/10.1302\/2633-1462.67.BJO-2025-0013.R1\/pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2407\" data-end=\"2535\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re delighted to announce the publication of a new study from ORI, led by Dr. Louise Mew as part of her PhD, exploring the lived experiences of younger patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). \u201cYoung Hip: an exploration into young patients\u2019 (aged &lt;50 years) expectations following primary total hip arthroplasty\u201d Published in Bone &amp; Joint&#8230;  <a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/2025\/07\/14\/what-really-matters-to-younger-adults-undergoing-hip-replacement\/\">Read more &raquo;<span class=\"sr-only\"> about What Really Matters to Younger Adults Undergoing Hip Replacement<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":591,"featured_media":6207,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/591"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6235"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6238,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6235\/revisions\/6238"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/ori\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
