ABSTRACT:
Background:
Adverse wear reaction after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing has been described as a new failure mechanism. Established causes include poor
implant design, small implant size and acetabular malpositioning. The purpose of this study is to establish a safe zone of acetabular inclination angle … Read the rest
