Abstract
The long-term results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) are predicated by excellent surgical techniques. New technology offers the hope of improving outcomes by providing to surgeons tools that make surgical procedures predictable. Techniques that improve the bone-cement-prosthesis composite should enhance long-term fixation. Less invasive surgical techniques that allow rapid recovery from THA have been recently described. Image-guided surgery may enable surgeons to accurately reconstruct the arthritic hip and improve outcomes.
