Synopsis
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.
