5.0 out of 5 stars Technical reading worth the struggle!, January 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Total Hip Arthroplasty Outcomes, 1e (Paperback)

This book is a must have for anyone considering hip replacement surgery. It cleary covers the evolution of the technology and techniques most commonly used in an understandable format. While technical, it facilitates easy comparison between the various technologies with valuable information on outcomes, longevity, and durability. It is especially valuable for candidates younger than 50 years who are struggling to find long lasting technology that will require fewer revisions. I highly recommend this book.
