Summary

The Corail Hip System was developed in 1986 as an innovative solution for hip arthroplasty and has since become the most used system across the world. This book is designed as a practical manual that will serve both as a reference for surgeons training on the system and as a source of information, tips, and tricks for the more experienced who wish to learn from the cases of other surgeons. The book is divided into three main parts. The first discusses everything that is practical about the system, including the surgical technique, treatment of complications, and the results achieved in large cohorts of patients. The second part is devoted to the crucial issue of optimal assessment and selection of approach, bearing components, and acetabular cups. The final part focuses on patient management and includes a collection of standard and complex clinical cases to which surgeons can refer when planning surgery.
