Hip Resurfacing in Teenagers Presentation by Dr. Pritchett 2023

Keeping the femoral head preserves the important load-bearing

Abstract

Background At the turn of the century, over one‑third of total hip arthroplasties comprised metal‑on‑metal bear‑
ings. As this patient population and their implants age, it is crucial to understand associated late failure modes
and expected long‑term functional outcomes. We report the long‑term results of a large metal‑on‑metal unce‑
