ABSTRACT
Background: Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is a bone-conserving alternative to total hip arthro
plasty. We present the 2-year clinical and radiographic follow-up of a novel ceramic-on-ceramic HRA in
an international multicenter cohort.
Methods: Patients undergoing HRA between September 2018 and January 2021 were prospectively
included. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in the form of the Forgotten Joint Score, Hip
Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Jr., Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis
Index, Oxford Hip Score, and University of California, Los Angeles, Activity Score were collected preop
eratively, and at 1 and 2 years postoperation. Serial radiographs were assessed for migration, component
alignment, evidence of osteolysis or loosening, and heterotopic ossification formation.
Results: The study identified 200 patients who reached a minimum 2-year follow-up (mean 3.5 years). Of
these, 185 completed PROMs follow-up at 2 years. There was a significant improvement in Hip Disability
and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (P < .001) and Oxford Hip Score (P < .001) between the preoperative,
1-year, and 2-year outcomes. Patients had improved activity scores on the University of California, Los
Angeles, Active Score (P < .001), with 45% reporting a return to high-impact activity at 2 years. At 1 and 2
years, the Forgotten Joint Score was not significantly different (P ¼ .38). There was no migration,
osteolysis, or loosening of any of the implants. No fractures were reported over the 2-year follow-up,
with only 1 patient reporting a sciatic nerve palsy. There were 2 revisions, 1 for unexplained pain at 3
months due to acetabular component malposition and 1 at 33.5 months for acetabular implant failure.
Conclusions: The ceramic-on-ceramic resurfacing at 2 years postoperation demonstrates promising re
sults with satisfactory outcomes in all recorded PROMs. Further long-term data are needed to support
the widespread adoption of this prosthesis as an alternative to other HRA bearings.

Update on ReCerf Ceramic on Ceramic Hip Resurfacing Device by Jeramy Latham onDecember 15, 2024
Finally some good news about the ReCerf ceramic on ceramic resurfacing. MatOrtho hosted a meeting on December 13 to present the latest news on ReCerf. It now has approval for use in Australia, and we were told that the UK should get it in May. The results up to 6 years in over 1200 patients are excellent with a 1.4% failure rate. In this video I will tell you about what we discussed at the meeting, and the challenges and opportunities that this new device will bring.
Navigating the landscape of hip resurfacing devices can feel a bit overwhelming. Different types of hip resurfacing devices, such as the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing system, the ReCerf Ceramic on Ceramic system or the Polymotion cobalt chrome head/Vitamin E crosslinked system offer tailored solutions for distinct needs. Each comes with its own set of benefits, adeptly catering to varying medical profiles and activity levels. This article will walk you through the primary types and features of these devices, ensuring you’re equipped with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your health and mobility.
The McMinn Centre is proud to announce the 27th Anniversary of the very first Birmingham Hip Resurfacing carried out by Professor Derek McMinn. This patient is still going strong 27 years after receiving his BHR!
March 15, 2025 was the 19 year anniversary of receiving my BHR Birmingham Hip Resurfacing from Dr. De Smet in Belgium in 2006
My hip resurfacing is still great and I never had problems with it. I still believe hip resurfacing is a great alternative to a total hip replacement for the right candidate – normally younger people that are very active and want no restrictions.
I started my website https://surfacehippy.info in 2005 to provide people with information about hip resurfacing. There are over 2300 articles, 1700 personal stories and 7000+ members in the Hip Talk Discussion Forum.
I work on the website as a full-time job to keep it up to date with new information and stories. I never regretted having a hip resurfacing or starting my website to help people learn about hip resurfacing.
I will continue to share new device information and person stories. There are many new and interesting devices being developed and active trials for hip resurfacing.
