John Charnley: The Man and the Hip - Tapa blanda
Reseña del editor
Hip replacement operations have become commonplace during the past ten years, but none the less it is well to remember the struggle to overcome the initial difficulties before the achievement of the successful results which are confidently expected today. Certainly, in the 1950s attempts to relieve pain and restore movement to an arthritic hip frequently failed. Such operations which were practised often involved a prolonged period of immobilisation which would now not be tolerated. For progress to be made orthopaedic surgeons had to rely on the loyalty and stoicism of their patients who allowed untried procedures to be carried out on themselves, often without appreciating the possible outcome. These surgical experiments resulted in progress being made, and the failures led to a greater understanding of the problems involved. The importance of collaboration with bio-engineers was also recognised, and the search began for suitable materials with which to make an artificial joint. Progress was made in many centres throughout the world, and surgeons in the United Kingdom were at the forefront in devising original techniques. Although others also produced new models, John Charnley was a pioneer and an innovator who influenced the development of hip relacement more than any other individual. In telling the story of his life this book is inevitably also the story of the operation, but it is not intended to be a scientific evaluation of his work.
Reseña del editor
This book is a biography of Professor Sir John Charnley, one of Manchester's most famous sons, and brilliant orthopaedic surgeon. Charnley made an outstanding contribution to the development of total hip replacement which has been widely acclaimed. The book is to some extent the story of this operation, but it is described in relation to his life and does not attempt a scientific evaluation of his work. He created the Centre for Hip Surgery at Wrightington Hospital which, although dedicated to research was primarily a surgical clinic geared to handling large numbers of patients. This made it possible for him to establish the results of his operation on a scale which had never been achieved before.
