Models of hip prosthesis mobilisation.
The mechanisms of prosthetic hip mobilisation are analysed, both in regard to the acetabular component and the femoral component. These are correlated with the clinical and radiographic manifestations with the aim of facilitating the comprehension and memorisation of different types of mobilisation. These are summarised in a chart illustrating the eight different mechanisms which provide both the orthopaedist and the radiologist with a rapid "aide memoire" when faced with a radiograph in a case of aseptic prosthetic hip mobilisation.
