The next few sections cover evaluation, pre-operative planning and surgical exposures, then dive into acetabular, femoral and trochanteric reconstruction techniques. An entire section is dedicated to author-preferred techniques for managing instability, aseptic loosening, periprosthetic infection and fracture, corrosion, implant failure and more. The final sections discuss methods to minimize complications, unique considerations and special considerations for revision THA, from abductor tears to the role of physical therapy.
