The Hip Resurfacing Handbook. This item is unavailable.The Hip Resurfacing Handbook

Surface arthroplasty (surface replacement) of the hip with metal-on-metal bearings is one of the fastest growing areas within the field of joint surgery. Chapters in part one provide readers with information on a wide range of hip resurfacing designs. Part two focuses on clinical follow-up to hip resurfacing. Part three discusses a variety of operative techniques, and the final section provides readers with case studies and conclusions.

Key Features: a standard work for orthopaedic surgeons and all those involved in HRA; reviews and compares all the major hip resurfacing prostheses, their key design features, relevant surgical techniques and clinical results; clinical follow-up of the patient is discussed.
