BHR vs
THR X-ray
X-ray showing a 26
year old man with a diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis and
secondary degeneration of the hips. Due to loss of bone stock while
waiting for surgery, the right side required a total hip
replacement. On the left, the patient underwent a hip resurfacing.
Thank You to whoever took this x-ray. There was no author indicated.
