Interfaces in Total Hip Arthroplasty

Description:

"This book accesses the opinions of a number of experts who address the important issues and factors influencing the component cement and bone cement interface that contribute to durability of fixation in these areas. In addition they explore how this fixation can be influenced both by the design of the implant, the material properties and the cement. In addition the various material combinations that are available at the articular interface are presented and the wear properties of and generation of debris from the interfaces revealed." "This book collates important data relating to the critical interfaces which influence the long-term survival of hip arthroplasty. It is with this information that readers will be able to make rational and informed choices of implants and materials and thus practice both effective and cost-effective medicine."--BOOK JACKET.
