A comparison of leg length and femoral offset discrepancies in hip resurfacing large head metal-on- metal and conventional total hip replacement: a case series

摘要

BackgroundA discrepancy in leg length and femoral offset restoration is the leading cause of patient dissatisfaction in hip replacement surgery and has profound implications on patient quality of life. The aim of this study is to compare biomechanical hip reconstruction in hip resurfacing, large-diameter femoral head hip arthroplasty and conventional total hip replacement.
