Biomechanics of the Normal and Diseased Hip Theoretical Foundation, Technique and Results of Treatment An Atlas

Orthopaedic surgery today is undergoing a phase of vara, pseudarthrosis of the neck of the femur, and osteo­ turbulent development. Once the essential aim of treatment arthritis, even in cases which up to now would usually have been considered incurable. consisted in restitution of anatomy by surger...
