Pat’s Corner – Hip Resurfacing is still an excellent option 2012 despite negative media

Hip Resurfacing Information at Surface Hippy Posted on by

I would like to comment, mostly for the people new to hip resurfacing, about the negative NY Times articles and other media against hip resurfacing. All of this information is one sided. The authors and some surgeons have an agenda against hip resurfacing. The retention rate of the BHR and other devices has been recorded and the records are available to the public. The first place to look are the national registries since they are … Read the rest

Metal-on-Metal Bearings by Dr. Rogerso 2014

Hip Resurfacing Information at Surface Hippy Posted on by

Updated 10/2/2014

Metal-on-metal (MoM), ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC), and ceramicized
metal-on-polyethylene (CMoP) bearings all were developed as a reaction to the
well recognized mediocre long-term results with metal-on-polyethylene hips in
younger, more active patients.

Polyethylene wear increases with increased
activity and load, and often elicits an aggressive response from the body where
loosening and bone loss occurs (osteolysis), making subsequent revision more
difficult.

Alternate bearings (MoM, CMoP, and CoC) are more resistant to
wear, and their wear … Read the rest

Vicky,

I read over the discussion of the head-neck ratios and
