Description of AVN Avascular necrosis and how hip resurfacing can help eliminate pain

Avascular Necrosis AVN by Dr. Nabil Ebraheim

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on August 14, 2016 by Patricia WalterAugust 20, 2016

Avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis is the death of a segment of bone due to loss of blood supply. Both bone cells are the bone marrow are affected. AVN is a common cause of hip pain in young and middle aged patients between 35-50 years of age. It occurs more in males.

Life Span of Hip Resurfacing for AVN by Dr. V.C. Bose and Dr. Paspati

How Long Will a Hip Resurfacing Last for AVN Patients? ***Thank You to Vicky Marlow for gathering this important information Gene, I sent an email to Dr. Bose asking him how long ago he resurfaced his first AVN cases.  Here is his response, so basically your answer to whether or not anyone has had AVN and resurfacing longer than 4 to 6 years ago, the answer is YES. Dr. Bose: ” All the AVN patients ( about 15) that i did in my first year (2000) have crossed the 7 year mark or close to crossing it in the coming months. Of the 350+ AVN resrufacings that i have done , there has been no revisions till date. I have no doubt in my mind… Read the rest

Information obtained by Vicky Marlow  Updated 6/15/08

Why Indian Surgeons Have Better Results with Hip Resurfacing AVN Patients

I am not the only one who is having a good result with AVN. Prof Yoo from Korea has not had a single failure yet for AVN resurfacing. The same goes for Dr. Sugano from Osaka, Japan. The 3 of us together have done more than 1,000 resurfacings for AVN. AVN is much more common in Asia when compared to the rest of the world. Derek McMinn has a 10% failure rate for AVN when compared to… Read the rest

Dr. Bose explains why a patient with advanced AVN could not receive a hip resurfacing

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 17, 2015 by Patricia WalterSeptember 7, 2018

Story provided by Vicky Marlow

Dr. Bose explains why a female patient with advanced AVN was not able to receive a hip resurfacing.

During the surgery there was a large AVN lesion up to half of the femoral head. In spite of this we tried all the tricks in the book to do a resurfacing. The head neck junction was involved and the residual bone was chalk like and soft. These features made a resurfacing impossible. Since the head–neck junction was involved a BMHR was also not feasible. Therefore I used a stem with an anatomical head metal on metal bearing. This will serve the patient very well.

I have attached the operative photographs. Since the patient had very small bone size I used the
