Isoelastic Hip Prosthesis

This text presents the surgical and operative techniques involved in the isoelastic hip prosthesis in a practice-oriented manner. Figures and diagrams illustrate the use of the prosthesis, typical clinical results are presented, and X-ray techniques for judging artificial hip joints are discussed.

The concept of the isoelastic hip prosthesis focuses on the physiological relationship of the bones in the region of the artificial joint component. This prosthesis is a composite system consisting of a strong elastic synthetic material surrounding a metal core. This book presents the surgical and operative techniques involved in detail and in a practice-oriented manner. Over 500 figures and diagrams illustrate the use of the prosthesis. Typical clinical results are presented, and X-ray techniques for judging artificial hip joints are discussed in depth.
