Book Description
The musculoskeletal system which comprises of different muscles, bones, and ligaments give support, stability, shape, and movement to the human body. The total number of bones in the skeletal system are 270 at birth and gradually reduce in number to 206 at adulthood due to fusion of few bones. Hip joint is amongst the largest of the weight-bearing joints after the knee and also one of the strongest joints. Usually, the average male femur is about 480mm in length with a diameter of 23.4mm. The hip joint is a classic example of a ball and socket joint where the head of the femur articulates in the acetabulum of the pelvis. The head of the femur and acetabulum are covered by a 63.5mm thick shiny white hyaline which acts as a smooth cushion to the joint. This joint has synovial fluid articulated in the mating surface which allows the joint to flex under different pressures without causing wear and tear. The synovial fluid and the hyaline help the bones move each other at different degrees of freedom without causing pain to the human. Usually, hip problems are associated with aged people due to worn-out hip joints. However, hip joint disorders can be associated with any person irrespective of age without proper care. Hip replacement surgery is considered to be amongst the greatest advances in health care of the twentieth century. In 1925 the first replacement made out of glass was used for the surgery by an American surgeon Marius Smith-Petersen. An American surgeon named Dr. Austin T. Moore at the Columbia Hospital, South Carolina performed the first metallic hip replacement surgery on September 28, 1940. Later, Sir John Charnley, who is considered the father of modern total hip arthroplasty, modeled a low friction arthroplasty in the early 1960s. This design was identical, in principle, to the prosthesis used in the present day. It consisted of a stem and head of the femur and an acetabular cup with a backing cup.

Book Description
This open access book describes and illustrates the surgical techniques, implants, and technologies used for the purpose of personalized implantation of hip and knee components. This new and flourishing treatment philosophy offers important benefits over conventional systematic techniques, including component positioning appropriate to individual anatomy, improved surgical reproducibility and prosthetic performance, and a reduction in complications. The techniques described in the book aim to reproduce patients’ native anatomy and physiological joint laxity, thereby improving the prosthetic hip/knee kinematics and functional outcomes in the quest of the forgotten joint. They include kinematically aligned total knee/total hip arthroplasty, partial knee replacement, and hip resurfacing. The relevance of available and emerging technological tools for these personalized approaches is also explained, with coverage of, for example, robotics, computer-assisted surgery, and augmented reality. Contributions from surgeons who are considered world leaders in diverse fields of this novel surgical philosophy make this open access book will invaluable to a wide readership, from trainees at all levels to consultants practicing lower limb surgery

Book Description
The purpose of this book was to offer an overview of recent insights into the current state of arthroplasty. The tremendous long term success of Sir Charnley's total hip arthroplasty has encouraged many researchers to treat pain, improve function and create solutions for higher quality of life. Indeed and as described in a special chapter of this book, arthroplasty is an emerging field in the joints of upper extremity and spine. However, there are inborn complications in any foreign design brought to the human body. First, in the chapter on infections we endeavor to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis and description of the management of this difficult problem. Second, the immune system is faced with a strange material coming in huge amounts of micro-particles from the tribology code. Therefore, great attention to the problem of aseptic loosening has been addressed in special chapters on loosening and on materials currently available for arthroplasty.

Book Description
"In the preface to this impressive and well-produced book, the editors state that their aim is not to describe a new surgical specialty, since most surgeons will soon need to be "geriatric surgeons," but to assemble a comprehensive account that will allow "all providers of healthcare to the elderly to understand the issues involved in choosing surgery as a treatment option for their patients." This is a useful book that deserves to do well. I hope that the editors and their publisher will have the stamina to make this the first of several editions, as it is clear that updated information about surgery in the elderly will be required to keep pace with this important field."

Book Description
The latest scientific and clinical information regarding the use of ceramics in orthopaedic surgery. CeramTec has had a long and close relationship with the French orthopaedic community and this community has been an incontestable pioneer in the use of ceramic in this field of orthopaedics. That is why the symposium takes place in Paris under the presidency of Professor J.-Y. Lazennec, Hôpital Pitié Salpêtrière.
