Abstract

The Total Hip Replacement (THR), or Artificial Hip, brought pain-free mobility to millions of older people, and then to younger, relatively athletic patients. THR transformed orthopaedics and became the basis of a global industry. This pioneering study explores THR in the very different health economies of the UK and the US, asking searching questions about surgeons, technologies and companies, and about costs as well as benefits.
