Hip Anatomy and Biomechanics Relevant to Hip Replacement
Romain Galmiche, Henri Migаud, Paul-E. Beaulé
Abstract
Modern total hip replacement and hip resurfacing have been shown to generate good long-term clinical outcomes. Advances in materials, engineering, and improved knowledge in joint anatomy and biomechanics, have enabled this success. Successful hip prosthetic surgery relies on a proper understanding of the hip anatomy and its biomechanics. In this chapter, we will review these essential points.
