This book comprehensively discusses both the history and the current concepts of modern hip preservation surgery. Offering an overview of the game-changing studies on the hip and pelvis vascular anatomy it thoroughly describes the evolution of a new and comprehensive pathophysiology of the hip joint degeneration. Moreover, in the first part, particular emphasis is devoted to the history and current knowledge of femoroacetabular impingement and hip dysplasia.The second part examines the main surgical procedures that have evolved and matured since the 1980s, culminating in a new class of open surgical approaches, such as hip surgical dislocation, periacetabular osteotomies, proximal femoral osteotomies and corrections, and widening the door for hip-arthroscopy.Based on over 40 years of practical and pioneering experience by the editor and 15 years of collaboration with the GICCA Study Group, this book offers a valuable resource to residents,researchers and practicing orthopedic surgeon wishing to gain insights into hip preservation surgery.

This book sheds new light and comprehensively discusses all aspects of surgical hip dislocation (SHD), a surgical technique which has indeed granted access to areas not accessible with standard procedures, thus allowing intra-articular osteotomies.

Focuses on the internal fixation of difficult fractures, with emphasis on maintaining the integrity of remaining soft tissue attachments. This book employs preoperative planning and 'indirect reduction' techniques to accomplish this goal.

During the past 30 years, the Study Group for the Problems of Osteosyn­ thesis (AO) has made decisive contributions to the development of osteo­ synthesis as a surgical method. Through close cooperation among special­ ists in the fields of orthopedic and general surgery, basis research, metallurgy, and technical engineering, with consistently thorough follow­ up, it was possible to establish a solid scientific background for osteosyn­ thesis and to standardize this operative method, not only for the more ob­ vious applications in fracture treatment, but also in selective orthopedics where hardly any problems relating to bone, such as those with osteoto­ mies can be solved without surgical stabilization. Besides the objective aim, the AO was additionally stimulated by a spirit of open-minded friendship; each member of the group was recruited according to his pro­ fessional background and position, his skills, and his talent for improvisa­ tion. Against this backdrop without even mentioning the schooling program well known throughout the world I should like to add some personal and general comments. This book is written for clinicians, instructing them how to perform osteo­ synthesis with special reference to plating in all its varieties and in strict accordance with the biomechanical and biological aspects and facts. From this point of view, the chapter on preoperative planning merits par­ ticular emphasis. Not only is it conductive to optimal surgery, it will also contribute to self-education and may found a school.
