Overview

Harlan C. Amstutz was affiliated with the University of California, Los Angeles in the United States. Their research activity centered on medicine, with a particular focus on surgery. The subfield of surgery encompassed their entire documented publication record.

Their main topics of investigation included orthopaedic implants and arthroplasty, total knee arthroplasty outcomes, orthopedic infections and treatments, and hip disorders and treatments. These areas reflected a consistent emphasis on musculoskeletal health and surgical interventions relevant to joint preservation and replacement.

Amstutz published in several reputable venues, primarily contributing to Hip International and The Bone & Joint Journal. Both journals featured their work on multiple occasions, underscoring a sustained engagement with orthopaedic research communities.

Frequent collaborators in their research included Michel J. Le Duff, Catherine Van Der Straeten, Thomas P. Gross, Peter J. Brooks, and Linsen T. Samuel. These coauthors appeared in various combinations across Amstutz's publications, indicating numerous collaborative efforts in the field.

The following publications are among the recent works attributed to Amstutz:

  • Hip resurfacing arthroplasty in young patients: international high-volume centres' report on the outcome of 11,382 metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasties in patients 50 years at surgery, 2020, Hip International
  • The 20-year results of the first 400 Conserve Plus hip resurfacing arthroplasties, 2021, The Bone & Joint Journal
  • What are the results of revised hip resurfacing arthroplasties?, 2020, The Bone & Joint Journal
  • Long-term results of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing in patients 65 years of age or older, 2020, Hip International
