by Professor Derek McMinn MD | 19 years ago

In this lecture, Director of Research Joseph Daniel examines the ten year survival results of a double heat-treated hip resurfacing series from 1996. Mr Daniel discusses the metallurgy of bearings and how post-cast heating can have a detrimental effect, leading to increased wear, osteolysis and cup loosening.
