Sign McMinn Center Petition to Smith & Nephew PLC: Reversal of decision to withdraw Birmingham Hip Resurfacing implants for women by clicking on link below:
The McMinn Centre has been overwhelmed by contact from concerned male and female patients who are devastated by Smith & Nephew’s decision and its implications. Many of our female patients have stated that after successful BHR surgery with Mr McMinn, they were planning to have … Read the rest
Metal ion release following hip replacement not strongly related to patient activity medical study |
Metal ion release following hip replacement not strongly related to patient activity Read Complete Article by Clicking Here The amount of patient activity following metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty seems to show little correlation to metal ion release, according to study presented here. Amir Kamali, PhD, presented his team’s findings at the 56th Annual Meeting of the Orthopedic Research Society. Kamali reported |

Internationally renowned hip and knee surgeon and designer and pioneer of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing, Derek McMinn addresses concerns about Hip Resurfacing and Metal on Metal (MoM) implants.
Derek McMinn has done over 6000 total hip surgeries and over 3,500 MoM Hip Resurfacings. His 10 year survivorship for the BHR (Birmingham Hip Resurfacing)in … Read the rest
Prednizone Side Effects – Should I Be Worried if I Take this Drug? By Nathan Wei Prednizone- the correct spelling is “prednisone”- is a commonly used oral glucocorticoid medicine. The adrenal glands manufacture a natural form of glucocorticoid. Glucocorticoids are responsible for many functions in the body including maintenance of blood pressure, proper use of sugar, protein, and fat metabolism, response to stress, and many other tasks. Glucocorticoids manufactured by the body are referred to |
Larger cups and optimal positioning produced lowest ion
levels and wear
In a review of 585 blood serum evaluations following hip resurfacing, only femoral size and cup inclination were found to have an effect on ion levels, according a study by orthopedic investigators. The findings were presented at the 2010 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. David J. Langton, MRCS, and his colleagues also found that the size of the coverage angle |
Medium Term Serum Cobalt and Chromium Levels in Patients with Metal-metal ResurfacingNOTE: This paper was presented at the New Trends of Joint Reconstructive Surgery 2002 Meeting, comparing serum levels in a control group, conventional THR, McKee Farrar, MOM Hip Resurfacing, and MOM THR (Sulzer), which concluded that metal ion levels are higher at 1 year with a small diameter MOM THR (Sulzer) than with resurfacing. As the Sulzer device has been in use for |

“You Have Your MoM’s Ions” Study finds elevated levels of cobalt and chromium in offspring of patients with metal-on-metal hip implantsNEW ORLEANS, LA Hip replacement patients with metal-on-metal (MoM) implants (both the socket and hip ball are metal) pass metal ions to their infants during pregnancy, according to a new study presented today at the 2010 Annual Meeting of |

I have now done about 185 resurfacings for AVN cases over a 5 year period with many patients crossing the 4 yrs mark. It is interesting to note there has not been a collapse or fracture neck of femur even in a single patient. It is wrong to think that the AVN continues forever in the femoral head. AVN is a one time event in which a strikingly similar sector of necrosis occurs |
Surgical Approach by Mr. McMinn I started back in 1991 with the antero-lateral approach to the hip for resurfacing. At that time we were worried about blood supply to the femoral head and on theoretical grounds the antero-lateral approach preserved the blood supply well. For many patients the approach was satisfactory but there were some problems. The exposure obtained in large patients was not good. This meant that heavy retraction had to be used, and |
Why is Hip Resurfacing better then a Total
Hip Replacement?
Dr. De Smet “Theoretic advantages are less bone destruction, less bone resection, normal femoral loading, avoidance of stress shielding, maximum proprioceptive feedback, and restoration of normal anatomy. In addition, reduced risk of dislocation, less leg inequality problems, and easier revision should convince surgeons to favor metal-on-metal resurfacing.” Mr. McMinn “A resurfacing is suitable for the treatment of a hip with severe arthritis when the femoral |

Smith & Nephew Review by Patricia Walter May 6, 2010 Introduction: Joseph M. DeVivo, President of Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics Joseph M. DeVivo, President of Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics |
Mr. McMinn at the the McMinn Centre
Malposition of the cup in relation to the
head in such a way that the wear patch
approaches the edge of bearing surface leads to
excessive wear.
Cup abduction (or Inclination) is a two
dimensional assessment. Malposition in the third
dimension is represented by anteversion or
retroversion. You are right in saying that
excess anteversion leads to edge loading towards
the front of the cup. Retroversion leads to… Read the rest
Prednisone and Massage By Nicole Cutler One of the most often presented conditions that massage therapists encounter is chronic pain, making pain management and relief a chief goal of a massage session. Sometimes though, regular massage therapy may not be enough to relieve this kind of pain, and clients may rely on traditional Western medicine for help. The most common doctor-prescribed medications for chronic pain relief are steroids, particularly Prednisone, which is primarily used as |
