Preface
The diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the hip have substantially advanced in recent years. While previous advances were largely due to the development of therapeutic devices and concomitant development of biocompatible materials, more recent advances have been the result of an improved understanding of the biology of the hip. In this context, biology is interpreted broadly to include kinematics, biomechanics, anatomy, and metabolism. The title of the book conveys the importance of advances in understanding biology as the basis for contemporary diagnosis and safe, effective treatments. This volume presents important advances in pathophysiology, pathologic anatomy, and diseases of the hip on the tissue and metabolic levels. The current emphasis on medical risk reduction in hip replacement is presented in three important chapters. The social and economic contexts in which hip diseases are treated and which affect treatment choices are discussed. I have been extremely fortunate in being instructed in my residency training and mentored in my early years of clinical fellowship and practice by individuals who not only understood the importance of the biological basis of clinical practice but also developed it in the
