Method and apparatus for hip replacement

摘要: Methods and apparatus for orthopedic replacement of the hip through three incisions with a modular prosthetic system assembled in vivo while substantially preserving muscles soft tissues around joint resulting reduced healing time decreased risk dislocation. A femoral stem is inserted into femur. neck from point along side patient's body femur lateral bore to join head. The methods include structures techniques fixing or enhancing interconnection implant components, such as by increasing an interference fit one more tapers, threads, and/or cooling components prior assembly.
