The vast and complex anatomical-surgical schematism of the hip offers orthopedic surgeons a wide range of choices in the procedure to be implemented for complex primary hip arthroplasty. Of particular interest is the recent introduction of minimally invasive techniques and the use of robotics. The book traces the historical evolution of surgical approaches to hip arthroplasty, then delves into the main surgical approaches (with approximately 100 illustrated anatomical drawings), analyzing their risks and variations, to guide the surgeon in executing appropriate surgical planning and choosing the best procedure.
