Doody Rating: 4 stars: This book opens with convenient exposures in inconvenient situations and concludes with evaluation of patients with persistent pain following complex primary hip replacements. Covers a spectrum from excision hip arthroplasty to computer assisted hip replacement and topics dealing with hip replacements in dysplastic hips, proximal femoral deformities with an overview of total hip replacement in patients with neuromuscular abnormalities. It covers surgical principles and implant selection on the topic like patients with previous fractures about the hip, severe hip dysplasia, tumors involving the hip. Each chapter provides the reader with a complete review of the pathological problems to be encountered, a rationale for preoperative planning and correction of bony and soft tissue abnormality and discussion of implant options. The author have tried to analyze difficulty in performing surgery in situations such as avascular necrosis of femoral head, fractures, failed fixations, tumors and protrusion. In addition the authors have expressed their views in tackling the challenges in osteoporotic situations, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis and infections. This book is helpful for postgraduates medical students and orthopaedic surgeons.

This book is a concise guide to hip replacement surgery. Beginning with an introduction to exposures for complex hip arthroplasty, the following sections discuss hip replacement procedures for different types of condition including fractures, arthritis and tumours, as well as neuromuscular abnormalities. Each chapter provides orthopaedic surgeons with a complete review of the pathological problems that may be encountered, a rationale for preoperative planning and correction of bony and soft tissue abnormalities, as well as discussion on implants. Covering a broad spectrum from excision arthroplasty to computer assisted hip replacement, this useful reference includes 110 colour images and illustrations.

Comprised exclusively of clinical cases covering complex primary and revision total knee arthroplasty, this concise, practical casebook will provide orthopedic surgeons with the best real-world strategies to properly manage the more complicated forms of knee replacement they may encounter. Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment and management techniques used to treat it, as well as the case outcome and clinical pearls and pitfalls. Cases included illustrate different management strategies for primary knee arthroplasty, including the varus and valgus knee, flexion contracture and extra-articular deformity, as well as periprosthetic infection and revision total knee arthroplasty, including deficient extensor mechanism, periprosthetic femur fracture and ligamentous instability. Pragmatic and reader-friendly, Complex Primary and Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Clinical Casebook will be an excellent resource for orthopedic surgeons confronted with a challenging knee joint replacement.

This open access book describes and illustrates the surgical techniques, implants, and technologies used for the purpose of personalized implantation of hip and knee components. This new and flourishing treatment philosophy offers important benefits over conventional systematic techniques, including component positioning appropriate to individual anatomy, improved surgical reproducibility and prosthetic performance, and a reduction in complications. The techniques described in the book aim to reproduce patients’ native anatomy and physiological joint laxity, thereby improving the prosthetic hip/knee kinematics and functional outcomes in the quest of the forgotten joint. They include kinematically aligned total knee/total hip arthroplasty, partial knee replacement, and hip resurfacing. The relevance of available and emerging technological tools for these personalized approaches is also explained, with coverage of, for example, robotics, computer-assisted surgery, and augmented reality. Contributions from surgeons who are considered world leaders in diverse fields of this novel surgical philosophy make this open access book will invaluable to a wide readership, from trainees at all levels to consultants practicing lower limb surgery
