  • Abstract
    Total hip replacement and hip resurfacing arthroplasty are two popular methods for curing the diseases of hip joints to date. While the technology can be considered to be mature, there are still some problems in practice. So, another method, hemi-hip joint arthroplasty, was introduced in this paper. The structure and materials of the prothesis, its experiments in vitro and the long-term follow-up were presented. The advantages were obvious, but the reasons for those were still unknown.
