Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) using metal-on-metal bearings is
an established but specialised technique in joint surgery. Based on
the experience of leading experts in the field, The hip resurfacing
handbook provides a comprehensive reference for all aspects of this
important procedure.
The first part of the book reviews and compares all the major hip
resurfacing prostheses, their key design features, relevant
surgical techniques and clinical results. Part two discusses
clinical follow-up of the hip resurfacing patient, including pre-
and post-operative examination, acoustic phenomena and
rehabilitation. It also covers the use of techniques such as
radiography and metal ion measurement, as well as bone scans,
ultrasound, CT, MRI, PET and DEXA, to evaluate hip resurfacings.
Part three reviews best practice in surgical technique, including
the modified posterior and anterior approaches, as well as
instrumentation, anaesthesia and revision surgery. Based on
extensive retrieval studies, Part four includes examples of the
main failure modes in HRA. The final part of the book includes
patients own experiences, a comparison of HRA with total hip
arthroplasty (THA), regulatory issues and relevant web sites.
Comprehensive in its scope and authoritative in its coverage, The
hip resurfacing handbook is a standard work for orthopaedic
surgeons and all those involved in HRA.
