This review primarily focuses on how the macromolecular composition and architecture of articular cartilage and its unique biomechanical properties play a pivotal role in the ability of articular cartilage to…
In this article, development of articular cartilage and endochondral ossification is reviewed, from the perspective of both morphologic aspects of histogenesis and molecular biology, particularly with respect to key signaling…
The size and shape of joints markedly affect their biomechanical properties, but the macroscopic 3-dimensional (3-D) mechanism and extent of cartilage and joint maturation during normal growth are largely unknown….
The purpose of this article is to outline key technical considerations in the performance of total hip arthroplasty after common osteotomies of both the proximal femur and acetabulum. Attention is…
Hip dysplasia usually has associated femoral bone deformity. When total hip arthroplasty is considered, femoral bone deformity mandates special considerations in femoral reconstruction. The common deformities in the dysplastic femur…
Bearing selection for total hip arthroplasty in young patients is important because of the likely long service life of the implant. Careful consideration of the next operation is recommended when…
At present, hip arthroplasty is one of the most successful medical procedures available to the world, in terms of pain relief, return to function, and improvement in the quality of…
This article is an overview of diagnostic imaging for skeletally mature patients who present with hip pain. It discusses preferred radiographic views to assess acetabular dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement and…
The wide spectrum of anatomic abnormalities that characterize hip dysplasia dictate the need for different reconstructive techniques when hip replacement is required. Multiple factors such as young age and high…
The Bernese periacetabular osteotomy has been performed for approximately 30 years. In that time, it has proven to be a technically complex procedure with the potential to considerably improve the…
