This practical book combines thorough literature review with extensive clinical experience to provide a clear overview of femoral revision arthroplasty, with the aim to present all available surgical techniques and critically discuss pros and cons and evidence-based recommendation for each of them. A wealth of figures and several videos complement the book and guide the reader through the management of potential pitfalls and complications during and after surgery. Particular emphasis is further put on the comparison of different approaches, stem types, and fixation techniques, assisting readers in identifying the best indication. Designed as a practically-oriented tool this book offers an excellent resource for all specialist hip surgeons and fellows wishing to gain insights into this complex and challenging surgical procedure.
