title: Recent developments in total hip replacements: cementation, articulation, minimal-invasion and navigation.
abstract: Total hip replacement is a commonly performed procedure with good results. The implants could be cemented or cementless, and there has been a resurgence of resurfacing procedures. It is important that special consideration is given to the choice of the material used at the bearing surfaces. There have been many developments in recent years that influence our choice of implant and have shaped our practice, including minimally invasive surgery and computer-assisted surgery. This article aims to provide an overview of these developments.
