    La prothèse de hanche dans tous ses états livre un état de l’art documenté, argumenté et dresse les perspectives de réflexion sur l’arthroplastie de première intention en constante évolution. Toute la démarche de l’ouvrage est guidée par la question : « Que fait le chirurgien confronté à telle ou telle situation », et fait le point sur les différents choix que doit faire le chirurgien : ––les voies d’abord ; ––la planification ; ––les prothèses (cupules de frottement, modes de fixation et diamètre des têtes prothétiques) ; ––les objectifs mécaniques ; ––les concepts prothétiques particuliers ; ––l’environnement de la chirurgie ; ––les spécificités des prothèses de hanche chez les sujets jeunes et/ou actifs. Plus de soixante-dix auteurs, experts reconnus de l’arthroplastie de hanche, expriment souvent des points de vue différents, parfois contradictoires, mais qui enrichissent considérablement le sujet.
