The Hip Joint in Adults: advances and developments

This book gives important details of how surgery of the hip joint has evolved around the
world. The 22 original chapters are written by experienced consultants, including Drs. John
O’Donnell (Melbourne, Australia), Manfred Krieger and Ilan Elias (Frankfurt, Germany), and
Nicholas Goddard (London, U.K.). Each chapter is accompanied by excellent, unique figures
and references at the end for further reading. The book focuses on several important topics
such as the direct anterior approach to the hip joint, setup of a total hip in a day, early
experiences in outpatient hip surgery, advances in short-stem total hip arthroplasty (which is
becoming increasingly popular in Europe and also worldwide), advances in hemophilic hip
joint arthropathy, mesenchymal stem cell treatment of cartilage lesions in the hip over the
next few decades, and minimally invasive surgery of the hip joint. This book is a must-have
and invaluable reference for any student interested in the progress in hip joint surgery
