Metal-on-Metal Bearings [E-Book] : A Clinical Practicum / edited by Lynne C. Jones, Warren O. Haggard, A. Seth Greenwald.
This book addresses the background and significance of the factors potentially influencing the clinical and biological outcomes of metal-on-metal hip implants. Metal-on-metal bearings were introduced and evaluated as an alternative to other bearing couples, particularly metal-on-polyethylene, due to...
