First sentence: Minimal invasive surgery (MIS) or better minimal incision surgery of the hip has gained specific interest within the arthroplasty surgeon community, mainly in the US as documented on the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) 70th Annual Meeting in New Orleans 2003.
Description: Cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains one of the most successful procedures in orthopaedic surgery. It has become very clear that it is the surgical expertise, in particular the quality of the cementing technique, which will affect long-term outcome and success. It is the intention of this book to provide an up-to-date comprehensive assessment of the entire field of cemented THA. Special emphasis has been given to practice-relevant aspects: well-illustrated and detailed operative steps as a practical guideline, a basic science chapter and long-term outcome data are provided. Minimally invasive surgery, modern perioperative management and patient fast tracking are covered.
