partial hip replacement - long time not in this field

[clarett]

Hi I have several queries that I would really appreciate some help on as I have not worked with any acute hip replacements for a few years.

1. Does anyone have a post-op protocol for partial hip replacemetns (replacing femoral head)?
2. what difference does it make if it is cemented or uncemented. are there any indicators who should receive which?
3. are there any materials or prostheses that are better than others? (my client is going to have a choice). No free medicine here.

Thanks very much
