THE BOOK ABOUT SHORT-STEM PROSTHESES

SHORT STEM TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY:

THE REVOLUTION OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL OPERATION OF THE CENTURY

The implantation of an artificial hip joint is one of the most common operations worldwide and is considered the most successful operation for restoring quality of life. In the last 15 years, two new components have been added to hip arthroplasty, which additionally address some disadvantages of conventional implants and techniques.

It is becoming increasingly clear that, on the one hand, minimally invasive approaches and, on the other hand, short and rounded femoral implants (short-stem prostheses) combined provide an especially great benefit for us as orthopedic surgeons, and in particular for our patients.
This book summarizes the philosophy and development of short-stem prostheses as well as the most interesting findings. The book covers the principles and techniques as well as the possible benefits and considerations for doctors and patients.

Every orthopedic surgeon and every patient is strongly advised to familiarize themselves with the concepts and features of the most modern type of hip arthroplasty. The future lies here!

THE BOOK IS WRITTEN IN ENGLISH AND AVAILABLE IN BOOKSTORES AS WELL AS ONLINE.
