Overview

Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) helps solve the reconstructive challenges facing surgeons today. This comprehensive text encompasses the necessary background and foundation for the reader to better understand the principles of revision THA, highlighting the preferred techniques and solutions of regional centers across the US that are known for excellence in revision THA. Across eleven thematic sections, this book presents modern techniques to solve common problems, with an emphasis on intra-operative and clinical photos. The opening section discusses general considerations and principles of revision THA, including the global burden, soft tissue balancing and biomechanics, and biomaterials. The next few sections cover evaluation, pre-operative planning and surgical exposures, then dive into acetabular, femoral and trochanteric reconstruction techniques. An entire section is dedicated to author-preferred techniques for managing instability, aseptic loosening, periprosthetic infection and fracture, corrosion, implant failure and more. The final sections discuss methods to minimize complications, unique considerations and special considerations for revision THA, from abductor tears to the role of physical therapy. This well-illustrated, state-of-the-art-text will prepare orthopedic surgeons of every level to solve unique and common etiologies of failed THA, making this a practical guide for every revision surgeon.
