Hey all,

I'm an MS2 working on a research project that requires me to assess bone loss (recurrent infections of THAs). I've been instructed to "pull the X-rays and measure."

Any good recommendations regarding texts that will help guide me how to evaluate/measure what I see on the images?

Thanks!

I applaud you for your research efforts, however, I hope someone experienced will be working closely with you during your measurements.

I would suggest looking through "The Adult Hip" There is a lot of information about osteolysis and other problems around THAs. There is a new volume coming out this December. You may be able to find the older edition at your med or ortho library.

Thanks for the advice Ortho Doc. I will follow-up your reference at the library (and no worries, I'll definitely be supervised).
