Beautiful email from Amy to Pat Walter about the Surface Hippy.info website

Hey there! I’m sure you get this all the time but your website was a complete lifesaver for me when it came to finding out more about resurfacing.

Hip Resurfacing and Women by Dr. Gross 2015

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on May 8, 2021 by Patricia WalterMay 8, 2021

Young women who desire a more functional hip replacement were recently dealt a large blow  when the smaller sizes of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing  (BHR) device were withdrawn from the market by Smith Nephew Richards because the 10-year revision rate for women was higher than for men in most large registry analyses. (The major national registries are Australia, Combined Scandinavia, and Great Britain).

Joint implant registries estimate an overall failure rate for different implants when

Hip Resurfacing for Women – What’s Possible

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on December 16, 2019 by Patricia WalterDecember 16, 2019

Hip Resurfacing is still possible for women. See the wonderful stories from active, athletic women below

Only a few hip resurfacing surgeons in the US still do women. If you want a hip resurfacing, you can find out if you are a candidate by emailing the surgeons who do women. Most BHR surgeons no longer do women. Dr. Gross and Dr. Pritchett use different hip resurfacing devices and will give women a hip resurfacing if

October 11, 2016

I had my right hip resurfaced, BHR, by the amazing Dr. Peter Brooks in 2008. I was 50 yrs. at the time and due to an injury I developed severe avascular necrosis.  The surgery was a huge success and my hip is still going strong.  I developed bone on bone arthritis, which ended up with avascular necrosis in my left hip, because I had to put off surgery longer than I wanted … Read the rest

Read Patricia’s Full Story Here

As one of Dr Gross’ earlier patients, and a woman with small bones, I am saddened to hear the decision by S&N to prevent access of women to hip resurfacing.  The real truth of it IS and HAS ALWAYS BEEN the expertise of the surgeon that determines your outcome. I recall when S&N was so anxious to get their products out that they required very minimal standards … Read the rest

Dr. Brockwell Discusses Women and Hip Resurfacing

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on January 16, 2016 by Patricia WalterJanuary 17, 2016

I am still using the BHR. I will resurface appropriate women (i.e. with head size over 48mm…).

I think the majority of young men men have osteoarthritis (OA) secondary to FAI (which I treat by arthroscopy) but about half of the young women have some form of acetabular dysplasia/DDH, and the other half have OA because of FAI. Thus tall phycially active women with OA from FAI can expect to do well with resurfacing, but … Read the rest

“However, the revision rates associated with men requiring femoral head sizes

Dr. Voelker of Germany Discusses Hip Resurfacing for Women and Small Men

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 17, 2015 by Patricia WalterJune 11, 2016

Dear Patricia,

I would like to comment on Smith&Nephew’s BHR decision to exclude
females and smaller sizes than 48 mm.

The decision has been based on the renewed NICE criteria. I wouldn’t
say that I don’t want best outcomes for all of my patients. But if
you compare those criteria to other surgical outcomes it looks
extremely strict. I think it would be just consequent if the
collected data would have been collected the same … Read the rest

Pat: Thanks for asking. In my view Smith & Nephew has acted
responsibly. I have not been offering metal on metal resurfacing in
the withdrawn smaller sizes. We have been offering just polyethylene
in these sizes. I am attaching my abstract for an upcoming meeting.

Yes, we use the implants shown on the Synovo Preserve site.

We offer this to both men and women. We always use a cementless

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 17, 2015 by Patricia WalterAugust 16, 2019

Hi Pat

Yes, it is true.

Smith and Nephew was asked to respond to the long-known worse outcomes in females. This was precipitated by the UK’s National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) raising their 10 year outcomes requirement from 90% where it been for years, to 95%.

Raising the bar left females and small sizes below the bar (along with a great many total hips as well, so expect more fall-out), and males well above … Read the rest

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 17, 2015 by Patricia WalterJanuary 30, 2022

June 30, 2015  – From a very philosophical standpoint hip arthroplasty is very unfair towards women!!!

Most men will have a socket size of 52 or over and therefore a 36 mms head can be used in all types of hip replacements. The 36 mms head is technically a “large head” and is a  good option having  serious resistance against dislocation. In addition men in general or not as lax / flexible as women and … Read the rest
