This monumental volume, of which K. Mohan lyer is the
editor, was written by several authors. It contains more
than 500 pages and provides comprehensive cover of the
hip joint in 15 broad chapters. After a rather brief embry-
ological and anatomical description, the author studies the
biomechanics defining the forces applied to the femoral
head in particular. Each chapter ends with a rich reference
list.
The clinical examination is written by K. Mohan Iyer
himself. While medical imaging is gaining increasing
importance both among surgeons and patients, it is essen-
tial as the author does to recall the clinical features which
begin from the exterior aspect and gait examination. The
neurological examination as well as specific testing is then
detailed.
Imaging begins with standard X-ray studies with its
classical landmarks and then MRI with beautiful images in
order to identify in detail anatomical elements and muscles.
Anatomical structures may even be observed with
ultrasonography.
The following chapters will allow for the study of dif-
ferent hip pathologies, beginning with child and adolescent
conditions, from septic arthritis in the infant, to dysplasia
and congenital dislocation, irritable hip (i.e. transient syn-
ovitis) and coxa vara, as well as excessive anteversion,
epiphysiolysis and osteochondritis (i.e. Legg–Calve´–
Perthes disease). Each condition is studied thoroughly with
its clinical diagnosis, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diag-
nosis and classifications, including the recommended
treatments and complications. An inclusive and extensive
reference list can be found at the end of this broad chapter.
Chapter 6 is about hip traumas. Fractures of the femoral
head in children and adults as well as hip dislocations and
periprosthetic fractures are dealt with in succession. Each
sub-chapter is comprehensively covered with its classifi-
cations and surgical treatments. Illustrations and drawings
are of high quality.
Chapter 7 deals with non-traumatic hip conditions in
adults. The study begins with a thorough coverage of
osteoarthritis of the hip (including diagnostic and radio-
logical examinations, treatments, surgical approaches,
arthroplasties as well as complications); the next sections
are on rheumatoid arthritis, hip tuberculosis, metabolic and
nutritional disorders of the hip; haemophilia, Paget’s dis-
ease, meralgia, types of bursitis (great trochanter, psoas,
snapping hip) and aseptic necrosis of the femoral head are
also described.
Chapter 8 is devoted to hip arthroplasty providing at the
very beginning a wide historical background (from
Charnley and the cobalt-chrome alloy, to the brothers
Judget and acrylic cement, as well as Moore and Thomp-
son). Then indications are detailed based on clinical and
imaging findings. The different types of total hip prostheses
are described, including anterior and posterior approaches,
minimally invasive surgery, complications, advantages and
drawbacks of the various approaches. Hip prostheses
reoperations are presented in detail, in particular compli-
cations in ceramic-on-ceramic implants, loss of bone stock,
as well as the different surgical approaches, including
removal of cemented and uncemented femoral implants, of
acetabular components, femoral reconstruction in case of
cemented prosthesis, bone grafting, results and complica-
tions. The option of a one-step or two-step surgical pro-
cedure is also presented. A clinical case is described

numerous colour pre- and post-operative pictures are pre-
sent. Chapter 8 ends with a gigantic list of bibliographical
references over the last thirty years.
Girdlestone resection arthroplasty of the hip, sometimes
the only option in reoperations, is the focus of chapter 9,
while chapter 10 deals with osteotomies around the hip.
They are classified according to their indications, location,
the main area of pain and the neurological conditions. The
authors provide full description of osteotomies, among
which Salter osteotomy, Pemberton osteotomy, innominate
Steel osteotomy, periacetabular (Ganz) osteotomy, Staheli
osteotomy, Chiari osteotomy, Schanz osteotomy, Lorenz
osteotomy, varus- and valgus-production osteotomy,
osteotomy for Blount’s disease, Sarmiento valgus osteot-
omy, McMurray’s osteotomy, Sugioka’s osteotomy are
also described.
Chapter 11 describes surface replacement techniques.
Chapter 12 covers minimally invasive hip arthroplasty
with an overview of patient-specific instrumentation,
potential advantages for the patient and selection of
patients eligible for these treatments; surgical approaches
are superbly illustrated with preoperative colour pho-
tographs. Extensive reference sections spanning between
the years 2001 and 2004 are included at the end of the
chapter.
Navigation is the focus of the short chapter 13. Methods
for navigation are described with their indications in total
arthroplasty or in surface replacement, as well as their
limitations.
Chapter 14 deals with tumours around the hip, presented
as follows: osteogenic tumours (such as bone islands,
osteoid osteoma, conventional osteosarcoma, periosteal
osteosarcoma and secondary or telangiectatic), comprising
Ewing sarcoma, cartilaginous tumours (osteochondroma
and chondrosarcoma), giant-cell tumours, fibrogenic
tumours, aneurysmal cyst, also focusing on Jaffe-Lichten-
stein fibrous dysplasia, angiosarcoma, hemangioma, mye-
loma, lymphoma, metastases and brown tumours. Paget’s
disease, alveolar soft part sarcomas and chordoma are also
reviewed. All these paragraphs are enriched with demon-
strative radiographs.
The book ends with chapter 15 illustrating hip arthro-
scopy, its description and indications, and a number of
examples are also given.
In conclusion, 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: orthopaedic surgeons, trauma surgeons, rheumatolo-
gists, may they be senior or in training, or at least it should
be accessible electronically.
In the electronic version examined, we regret the
absence of an index which would enable prompt access
according to keywords.
