The development of total hip replacement counts as one of the great success stories of modern medicine. Yet the operation still involves difficult practical choices for the patient, and, until now, there was little real guidance available.
This instructive new book equips the reader with all they need to know about hip replacement and its alternatives. A key question is when to opt for surgery - as the author reveals much can be done to relieve the pain of arthritis through pain-killers, physiotherapy, alternative medicine and useful aids.
Once the decision to have the operation has been made, however, patient-expert Thomas Crump offers advice on how to make crucial choices, for example between an uncemented and a cemented prosthesis, or private versus public care, and explores the option of treatment abroad.
