Hip Preservation Techniques explores hip problems and presents and compares alternative protocols for treating the condition in children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. While poor long-term outcomes of arthroplasty have led to an increasing dependence on procedures to conserve the native hip, preservation surgery may maintain or protect a hip and prevent or delay the need for arthroplasty. Well-established techniques such as cartilage restoration and use of tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells are presented, and conceptually different procedures such as Bernese peri-acetabular osteotomy, Salter’s and Pemberton’s osteotomy are also discussed. This book will be useful for medical students, residents and consultants with an interest in hip preservation surgery. Key Features Explores the emerging concepts in hip preservation surgery with a concise and to-the-point approach Discusses digital templating in total hip arthroplasty Examines the anterior approach to the hip for a minimally invasive prosthesis Offers a comprehensive coverage of the topic through beautiful illustrations
