Contemporary posterior cruciate-retaining total knee designs have provided pain relief and improved knee function but have failed to reproduce the kinematics and stability of the normal nonarthritic… (More)
Highly cross-linked ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is increasingly used as a bearing material in total hip replacements. Cross-linking of UHMWPE has been shown to increase wear… (More)
Reconstruction of major proximal femoral segmental defects is one of the most difficult challenges in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). One technique that has been successful is the use of a… (More)
Because of the extensile nature and familiarity of the standard posterior-lateral approach to the hip, a family of "micro-posterior" approaches has been developed. This family includes the… (More)

Introduction uring the last decade, a number of so-called minimally invasive techniques have been proposed for total hip arthroplasty. The initial reports suggested the possibility of better early… (More)

In 1982, Harris and White reported the data after a minimum five-year follow-up of fifty-three total hip replacements in forty-seven patients in whom a cemented metal-backed acetabular component had… (More)
Nineteen patients with 19 fractures around or below a well-fixed femoral stem, were treated by open reduction and internal fixation using massive cortical allograft struts and cerclage wires or… (More)
Three-dimensional computer reconstructions of bony anatomy based on computed tomographic images and radiographs may be used to analyze, simulate, and design certain orthopedic procedures. In… (More)

BACKGROUND
Obtaining the ideal acetabular cup position in total hip arthroplasty remains a challenge. Advancements in digital radiography and image analysis software allow the assessment of the cup… (More)
