Advances in Total Hip Arthroplasty

This book sets out evidence-based surgical principles and techniques for total hip arthroplasty, beginning with an overview of the hip joint and its anatomy before detailing the biomechanics of the joint in its various states and the properties of biomaterials used in arthroplasty.

It describes the principles of surgical technique, preoperative planning, surgical procedures, rehabilitation and management of complications, and illustrates the surgical procedures to support understanding of each step. It also covers technical aspects of the procedure, including how to deal with difficult cases such as severely deformed cases and how to increase the safe range of motion.

Written by a pioneering team of authors in cooperation with the Japanese Society for Replacement Arthroplasty (JSRA), the book offers practical tips for total hip arthroplasty and academic insight for orthopedic surgeons and residents specializing in arthroplasty. The EPUB file is opened with EPUB reader software such as Calibre or Adobe Digital Editions, not with PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.
