Hip fusion-Arthrodesis. Arthrodesis is the fusion of the femur (thighbone) to the pelvis. Hip fusion is used for young patients with healthy spine and no changes in other joints. It may be also attempted for patients with failed total hip joints. Recovery requires partial weight bearing for a period of 12 weeks or more.
The Atlas Cedar lives long and requires a lot of space to develop freely growing 40 to 60 feet high with a 30 to 40 foot spread. Male cones are 2 to 3 inches and form on lower part of tree, with larger purple female cones developing on top branches.
Some cedar varieties are fast growers. For privacy screening, creating deep shade or planting an enduring specimen tree, some members of the cypress (Cupressaceae) family qualify as fast-growing landscape assets. True cedars (Cedrus sp.) are native to western Asia, North Africa and the Mediterranean.
