Dr. Patrick Carton is a surgeon and director of orthopaedic sports medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC)-Ireland. He specializes in the surgical management of the athletic hip joint; He treats conditions from hip impingement/labral tears, hip instability, hip dysplasia, to hip arthroscopy and primary and revision hip replacement.

We discussed the truth behind the start of St. Patrick's Day (sorry for my Irish folks!), his journey from becoming a surgeon, creating the hip and groin clinic to his role as the Director at UPMC- Ireland.  And *truly*, essential surgical hip topics: male and female hip differences, hip impingement vs instability, adolescent hip considerations, and joint preservation surgery for athletes with arthritic hips.
