Current status of total hip replacement. A review of biological and biomechanical factors.
Successful cemented total hip replacement represents one of the major advancements in orthopaedic surgery in recent years. However, clinical follow-up has revealed a disturbing incidence of loosening, particularly in the younger patient. Aspects of component design, materials and technique refinement considered important in improving long-term results are reviewed.
