Acetabular Bone Loss in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty: Evaluation and Management

Neil P. Sheth J Am Acad Orthop Surg March 2013 vol. 21 no. 3 Abstract As the number of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures performed continues to rise, the burden of revision THA procedures is also expected to increase. Proper evaluation and management of acetabular bone loss at the time of revision surgery will […]

Radiographic Methods of Wear Analysis in Total Hip Arthroplasty

Luthfur Rahman Abstract Polyethylene wear is an important factor in failure of total hip arthroplasty (THA). With increasing numbers of THAs being performed worldwide, particularly in younger patients, the burden of failure and revision arthroplasty is increasing, as well, along with associated costs and workload. Various radiographic methods of measuring polyethylene wear have been developed […]
