Abstract
Hip and knee arthroplasty is a procedure that presents unique challenges when performed in those with rare bone disease, including assessment of bone quality and strength, prosthesis type and shape, along with techniques of fixation of the implants and subsequent stability. Complications are more common and may be more challenging to resolve. This review highlights the specific issues facing the surgeon when performing lower limb joint replacement in this patient group.
期刊介绍:
Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
