Characteristics of contemporary hip resurfacing arthroplasty endoprostheses and their possible postoperative complications

This chapter describes the currently used cement-based hip joint resurfacing arthroplasty endoprostheses in the background of previous designs of resurfacing endoprostheses. It also discusses the most common types of postoperative complications of this arthroplasty, caused by the method of fixation in the bone with the use of cement and a short stem of the femoral component of modern resurfacing arthroplasty endoprostheses.
