title: Bypass fixation.
abstract: Hip replacement has been a great achievement of orthopaedic surgery as it reliably abolishes pain and restores function. The success of this operation has lead to its use not only in the elderly, but increasingly, in the higher demand that younger patients whose life expectancy is longer than the longevity of the prostheses used to date. Thus, we are seeing a growing number of patients who require a first or even repeat revision surgery, which is often complex and technically demanding.
