Modern hip resurfacing

Growth and interest in resurfacing hip arthroplasty is due entirely to one surgeon, Mr Derek McMinn, who developed a resurfacing hip implant that is both conservative and a sustainable alternative to total hip replacement. Mr McMinn is recognised globally as the father of modern resurfacing techniques; he is also an educator to the new generation of orthopedic surgeons who wish to understand and develop techniques accommodating resurfacing arthroplasty in their practice. Hip Resurfacing brings together some of the most prominent names in hip arthroplasty, and together the authors review the practical aspects of resurfacing while they also documenting the development and science of the modern resurfacing device. Modern Hip Resurfacing represents the combined knowledge and current experience of the revolutionary technique of hip resurfacing and provides fascinating insight into one of the most significant developments in hip arthroplasty.
