Metal-on-Polyethylene Hip Resurfacing Implant May Improve Resurfacing Arthroplasty Outcomes 2020

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on by
July 15, 2020 https://www.healio.com/news/orthopedics/20200715/metalonpolyethylene-hip-implant-may-improve-resurfacing-arthroplasty-outcomes Use of a metal-on-highly crosslinked polyethylene implant in hip resurfacing arthroplasty may provide successful short-term outcomes and be a viable option for suitable patients who currently lack a hip resurfacing arthroplasty option, according to published results. “This is a preliminary report of custom devices, but we have had the largest global experience of successful hip resurfacings,” Ronan B.C. Treacy, MB, ChB, FRCS(Orth), of The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham, United Kingdom, told Orthopedics Today. “Particularly in smaller patients and female patients, under current guidelines, they are excluded from the benefits of resurfacing with historical bearings and this gives us an insight into the future on showing that a hard-on-soft bearing may, in fact, be viable for the use in these… Read the rest

New alternatives to Metal-on-Metal Hip Resurfacing by JointMedica 2020

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on by

Hip Resurfacing remains an excellent procedure. Prof McMinn and Mr Ronan Treacy’s previous design the BIRMINGHAM HIP™ Resurfacing (BHR™) (1) proudly demonstrates an ODEP 13A* rating in the UK. (2)

​Restrictions in size range and gender application in many countries relating to Metal on Metal Hip Resurfacing, limit the use of these implants to males, and component sizes from 48 to 62mm only.

JointMedica and others, are exploring alternative materials to Metal on Metal for use in Hip Resurfacings.

Encouraging results with modern polyethylene supports JointMedica’s hypothesis that Highly Cross-linked Polyethylene could offer advantages over hard on hard articulations in the longer term (4).

Gait after Birmingham Hip Resurfacing an age-matched controlled prospective study

Anatole V. Wiik, Rhiannon LambkinJustin P. CobbPublished Online: https://doi.org/10.1302/0301-620X.101B11.BJJ-2019-0383.R1

Conclusion

Patients undergoing HRA improved their preoperative gait pattern of a significant limp to a symmetrical gait at high speeds and on inclines, almost indistinguishable from normal controls. HRA with an approved device offers substantial functional gains, almost indistinguishable from healthy controls.

the custom metal-on-crosslinked-polyethylene (MoXlPe) hip resurfacing device by JointMedica

Objectives

Modern metal-on-metal (MoM) hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA), while achieving good results with well-orientated, well-designed components in ideal patients, is contraindicated in women, men with head size under 50 mm, or metal hypersensitivity. These patients currently have no access to the benefits of HRA. Highly crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) has demonstrated clinical success in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and, when used in HRA, potentially reduces metal ion-related sequelae. We report the early performance of HRA using a direct-to-bone cementless mono-bloc XLPE component coupled with a cobalt-chrome femoral … Read the rest

I’m now 12 + MONTH post operation as I write this and I am walking, cycling and exercising
normally I have adhered to the protocols of physiology and tissue recovery following major trauma
/surgery and have not exposed my hip(s) to impact sports –for the simple reason of self judgement,

First ceramic on ceramic resurfacing of Dr.De Smet in Johannesburg Rosaecres hospital South-Africa

This lady walked with 2 crutches for long time before her surgery. After two weeks with all kind of disasters not related with surgery but delaying the rehabilitation, her older grandsons (seven and ten) stopped believing that she could ever abandon the crutches. To cheer them up and make them laugh, she decided to take a “funny walk” along the hallway of their house.… Read the rest
