For centuries, orthopaedic surgeons have been managing the pain,
limp, and gait disturbance that develop in association with various
traumas and diseases of the hip joint. The hip is a ball-and-socket
joint that has a good range of movement, but it is stable and
rarely dislocates, even after high-impact trauma, and can withstand
repeated motion and a fair amount of wear and tear. However,
despite its durability, it is not indestructible. With age and use,
the cartilage can wear down or become damaged. Overuse of muscles
and tendons of the hip, for example, in athletes, leads to hip pain
due to muscle strain or tendonitis. Other factors that can cause
pain and lead to progressive arthritic changes include the abnormal
anatomy a person is born with, conditions that develop during the
growth and development of bones, and trauma as well as wear and
tear due to ageing. The diagnosis and management of hip injuries
have evolved substantially with advances in hip arthroscopy and
diagnostic tools such as MRI and new, minimally invasive
techniques. This book provides a detailed account of the hip
joint's anatomy and biomechanics and serves as a practical guide
for the diagnosis and treatment of hip diseases and injuries at all
ages. The book covers recent trends in orthopaedic surgery of the
hip joint, including the latest advances in revision total hip
arthroplasty (THA), computer-assisted navigation for THA,
resurfacing of the hip joint, neoplastic conditions around the hip,
and indications, complications, and outcomes of hip arthroscopy.
The chapters are written by experts who have contributed greatly to
the understanding of problems of the hip joint. The book will be
appreciated by undergraduate and postgraduate students, experienced
hip surgeons, medical doctors, and practicing consultants in
orthopaedics.
