About this book

The author of this multimedia work sets himself an ambitious goal: to allow a surgeon to achieve the revision of a prosthesis without too many difficulties (or too much apprehension!) with guaranteed results if he follows the proposed method step by step, and this, even if he is not very experienced in this discipline.To fulfil this purpose, the author provides a clear definition of the press-fit concept (principles and practical applications) and from there, he offers a logical and rigorous method for, first of all, planning the surgery, and then, performing it.The written text is also available as a computerized slide show, coming with a browsing system in order to make a pre-operative planning, which gives real pedagogic value to the whole of this work.

"This monograph describes a single surgeon’s approach to revision total hip stem arthroplasty. The purpose is to explain the press fit principle of total hip stem revision. The audience is orthopedic surgeons who practice in the subspecialty of total hip revision. … The technique is explained and illustrated well." (Mark Gonzalez, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2007)
