THE HIP DETECTIVE

This new book is for surgeons, students and patients. It 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.

“We hope these cases will help you better understand the causes, treatment options and technology used to treat complex hip problems and return patients to active and happy lives.”
