Total hip arthroplasty in patients with dwarfism.

abstract：:The blood loss that accompanies total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be substantial. Many patients need perioperative blood transfusions. To avoid anemia and transfusion-related complications, the amount of blood loss and need for blood transfusions must be reduced. If standard jig instruments are used, an opening of the...
