Modern Hip Resurfacing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781849967266)

At last - this is the first book to cover modern hip resurfacing techniques. It brings together some of the most prominent names in hip arthroplasty, and together the authors review the practical aspects of resurfacing while they also document the development and science of the modern resurfacing device. Modern Hip Resurfacing represents the combined knowledge and current experience of the revolutionary technique of hip resurfacing and provides fascinating insights into one of the most significant developments in hip arthroplasty. The volume is edited by Derek McMinn of the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham, UK. Growth and interest in resurfacing hip arthroplasty is due entirely to this one surgeon, who developed a resurfacing hip implant that is both conservative and a sustainable alternative to total hip replacement. Mr McMinn is recognised globally as the father of modern resurfacing techniques, making this a truly authoritative work.
