The use of cement in hip arthroplasty

Abstract

Written by the surgeons of the Exeter Hip Team and their colleagues from around the world, this book describes 40 years of innovation and development with cemented hip replacement. Topics covered include the basic science behind successful cemented hip replacement, modern surgical techniques and recent advances. There is also extensive coverage of the revision techniques developed at Exeter and elsewhere, focussing on femoral and acetabular impaction grafting. Each chapter is a self-contained article with an emphasis, where appropriate, on practical techniques and surgical tips, supported by line drawings and intra-operative photographs.
