THE HIP DETECTIVE
Solving puzzles; transforming lives
A book by Professor Alister Hart
You can explore some of our most compelling case studies in this full-colour hardback book, designed for surgeons, students and patients. The Hip Detective takes a fresh look at some of Professor Alister Hart’s most significant cases, drawing on more than 20 years of frontline operating experience, research and collaboration. It’s also a collection of detective stories: true stories, about real people. Each of the 20 cases presents a puzzle, then follows the problem-solving process, from investigating the evidence through to undertaking the operation and weighing up the lessons learned.
The Hip Detective is inspired by the remarkable new potential that exists to give people debilitated by the state of their hips the chance to walk again.
It is for surgeons, students and patients seeking to understand the methods, ideas and technologies currently transforming practices and outcomes in complex hip surgery — particularly in the field of revision surgery, that is, fixing failed hip replacements. It is the outcome of more than 20 years of frontline operating experience, interdisciplinary collaboration, data research and technological innovation
