The Hip Joint

by K. Mohan Iyer (Editor)

Overview

The Hip Joint, written in 2016, provides a detailed account of the hip joint's anatomy and biomechanics and covers recent trends in orthopaedic surgery of the hip joint, including the latest advances in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA), computer-assisted navigation for THA, resurfacing of the hip joint and neoplastic conditions around the hip as well as indications, complications and outcomes of hip arthroscopy. Another book, The Hip Joint in Adults: Advances and Developments, gives additional important details of how hip joint surgery has evolved around the world. While much of the basic knowledge in this area is constant, it is critically important to stay current on those areas that do change.

This updated second edition of The Hip Joint contains a host of original articles from contributory authors all around the world, showing the evolution of the hip joint till the present day, building upon the solid foundation set by the first edition. It covers hot topics such as 3D printing in orthopaedics and traumatology, stem cell therapy in orthopaedics, hip resurfacing, hip-preserving surgery, sports medicine for the hip joint, robotic-assisted surgery in orthopaedics and neoplastic conditions around the hip.

(1975) from the College of Physicians and Surgeons; M.S. Orth. (1978) from the University of Mumbai and M.Ch. Orth. (1981) from the University of Liverpool, U.K. During this time, he wrote three theses on fractures of the patella, excision arthroplasty of the elbow and excision of the trapezium for carpometacarpal arthritis of the thumb. Dr. Iyer has been associated with K.E.M. Hospital, Mumbai, East Birmingham Hospital, U.K., and Dryburn Hospital, Durham, U.K. Dr. Iyer has presented numerous papers at state, national and international conferences in Singapore and Bangkok. He was in charge of the teaching program in orthopaedics for undergraduate students and an examiner for the MBBS degree at the University of Bangalore, India. He has also carried out a wide range of surgeries on all kinds of major fractures, as well as arthroscopy of the knee, spinal surgery and elbow and total hip replacements, and has published numerous articles and book chapters. In 2008, Dr. Iyer moved back to his home town, Bengaluru, India. He has been instrumental in devising a modified posterior approach to the hip joint, which he has been following from 1981 until today. His research is original, as can be seen on his website kmohaniyer.com.

Editorial Reviews

This book is truly a bible of the current medical and surgical state of knowledge regarding hip joint. It should be on the shelves of every specialist in the field.

Pierre Kehr, European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, October 2017, Volume 27, Issue 7 (1027-1028)

This monumental volume, of which K. Mohan Iyer is the editor, was written by several authors. It contains more than 500 pages and provides a comprehensive cover of the hip joint in 15 broad chapters. After a rather brief embryological and anatomical description, the author studies the biomechanics defining the forces applied to the femoral head in particular. Each condition is studied thoroughly with clinical diagnosis, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and classifications, including the recommended treatments and complications. Each chapter ends with a rich reference list. In conclusion, this book is truly a bible of the current medical and surgical state of knowledge regarding the hip joint. It should be on the shelves of every specialist in the field (orthopaedic surgeons, trauma surgeons, rheumatologists, may they be senior or in training), or at least it should be accessible electronically.
