Main description:

Hip Replacement offers useful strategies to

choose the appropriate biomaterials and implant structure

avoid complications in hip replacement surgery

analyze the bone-biomaterial interface

perform difficult hip reconstructions

track in vivo performance of hip prosthetics

inhibit implant loosening and the formation of wear debris

classify acetabular defects for surgical revisions
Providing nearly 200 figures, pictures, and micrographs to clarify surgical procedures, Hip Replacement is a timely and state-of-the-art guide for orthopaedic and hip replacement surgeons; geriatricians; biomedical, biomaterials, and chemical engineers and bioengineers; physical, materials, biological, and polymer scientists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
