In 1995, the NIH (National Institutes of Health) Consensus Development Panel on Total Hip
Replacement supported the use of hybrid fixation with a cemented stem and a noncemented …

Restoration of normal hip biomechanics is a key goal of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and
favorably affects functional recovery. Furthermore, a major concern for both the surgeon and …

Exploring the basic mechanical principles of bone-related research and mechanical testing
of bone specimens, this book has 42 chapters divided into three major sections that cover …

The use of total hip and knee arthroplasty is steadily increasing (3). It has been estimated
that world-wide 2.5 million patients are living with an artificial hip joint (120) and that …

Composite synthetic models of the human femur have recently become commercially
available as substitutes for cadaveric specimens. Their quick diffusion was justified by the …

The ROBODOC® system was designed to address potential human errors in performing
cementless total hip replacement. The system consists of a preoperative planning computer …

We studied the morphometry of 35 femora from 31 female patients with developmental
dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and another 15 from 15 age-and sex-matched control patients …

Biological fixation of cementless femoral implants requires primary stability by optimal fit in
the proximal femur. The anatomy of the bone must then be known precisely. We analysed in …

We classified 182 consecutive patients (195 hips) treated by primary cementless minimally
invasive total hip arthroplasty (MIS-THA) into 2 groups via the surgical approaches: direct …

Morphologic features of the hips, in particular those features germane to determination of
acetabular and femoral anteversion angles and femoral head offset, were studied in 50 male …
