Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: device-related errors revealed through a national database.

abstract：:Total hip resurfacing has long been conceptually attractive to both surgeons and patients. However, historically it has been plagued by limited durability and marked acetabular bone loss. The recent development of wear-resistant bearings, such as metal-on-metal, has led to renewed interest in hip resurfacing in the or...
