The Adult Hip

This major two-volume reference provides comprehensive coverage of the evaluation and surgical management of problems of the hip. It begins with a thorough review of clinically relevant basic science, including the anatomy and biomechanics of the hip, the biomaterials used in hip reconstruction, the sequelae of wear, and the biology of bone autografts and allografts. A section on clinical science covers the clinical and radiological evaluation of the hip, the pathology of the hip, osteonecrosis of the hip and related disorders, perioperative considerations, surgical anatomy, and surgical approaches to the hip. Subsequent sections provide complete information on all current surgical procedures, including arthroscopy, resection arthroplasty, arthrodesis, osteotomy, total hip arthroplasty, complex total hip arthroplasty, procedures for the treatment of sepsis, and revision total hip arthroplasty. Complementing the text are more than 1,300 full-color and black-and-white illustrations, including drawings by a noted medical illustrator.
