Description: This volume is the arranged monograph based on the Hip Biomechanics Symposium held on November 1992 in Fukui, Japan. It consists of six major sections: loading, gait analysis, total hip arthroplasty, osteotomies, motion analysis, and stem designs for stability. The most important aim of the volume is to overview the current research outcomes in the biomechanical approaches to adult hip diseases. Each of these sections brings together many of the leading researchers in this field. The information found here will be of benefit to orthopedic surgeons and researchers in the related areas.
