Abstract
Survivorship of the implant is determined by the durability of fixation and of the articular interface. Early attempts to achieve a conservative hip replacement were betrayed by poor materials, inadequate fixation and failure of the articulation. This paper explores how these shortcomings were addressed during the evolution of total hip arthroplasty to produce the contemporary designs of conservative hip implants.
