Birmingham Hip Resurfacing

 

The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing System is an ideal procedure for the younger patient.  Unlike the traditional hip replacement surgery, resurfacing allows the patient to conserve natural bone while removing the rough damaged surface and replacing it with a durable high carbide cobalt chrome joint.

For younger patients concerned with the potential of multiple revision surgeries over their lifetimes, saving natural bone is especially important. Hip bone conservation is good for older patients as well if their bones are strong enough to accept the implant.

The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing System has been shown to actually enhance bone strength around your hip. (Kishida, Sugano 2004 JBJS) The more you walk on your resurfaced hip, the stronger it gets.

 

Other advantages to this procedure are that it is long lasting and it has the longest clinical history of current resurfacing devices.  This track record is longer than nearly all currently available metal-on-metal total hips as well. 

 

The ideal patient for this procedure is younger and/or physically active as the device fits on top of reshaped, natural bone.  Click here to read more about the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing System.
