The era of the Biomet Recap/Magnum has come to an end. Zimmer has stopped manufacturing this implant. After nearly 20 years of using this implant for hip resurfacing and posting the best long-term durability outcomes for any type of hip surgery, I will have to change. To continue performing hip resurfacing for all patients is becoming more challenging because … Read the rest
Navigating the landscape of hip resurfacing devices can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when weighing the options against traditional hip replacement methods. Hip resurfacing presents itself as a compelling choice, primarily because it’s designed to conserve more of your natural bone structure. Unlike the full replacement approach, which typically involves removing a portion of the bone of the femur, hip resurfacing only involves reshaping the femur’s surface and capping it with metal. This method not
This implant features a cemented cobalt chrome head and a Vitamin E crosslinked polyethylene socket with a thin layer of porous titanium coating. This “hybrid” implant is fixed with methyl methacrylate cement on the femoral side and bone ingrowth on the socket

I have a PolyMmtion right hip and it is about 6 months old. I am so far very pleased in that I am basically back to normal and very active again – I am able to start running in July which was my main motivation for resurfacing. I know the device is newer but all devices are new at some stage.
I feel relieved I don’t have to worry about the risk of metalosis.

Dear Pat
Here is an update of the COC ReCerf resurfacing. Ceramic on Ceramic Device:
** I have done 250 now. The study is just continuing with over 800 done worldwide.
** Now we have 5 year results. They show no real problems, beside the usual difficulties we have seen with the MOM resurfacing, where placement must be precise and done by an experienced surgeon.
With kind regards,
KOEN

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‑
mented total hip arthroplasty system with unique design characteristics compared to others that have been reported
with high failure rates.… Read the rest
I’ve benefited greatly from reading posts on this site over the last few years (thanks Pat) so thought I’d pass on my experience.
I had the new Jointmedica Polymotion Hip Resurfacing with Dr Bill Farrington in Auckland NZ about 4.5 months ago and it’s been a life changer. I’m at the stage now where I barely know I’ve had surgery. I’m still protecting it but have been for a few light runs (5-10min) and a … Read the rest

I had bilateral Polymotion hip resurfacing with Dr. Jim MacKenzie in Calgary on Nov 15, 2022. I didn’t realize it at the time, but it was the first Polymotion resurfacing in North America, and Dr. McMinn was in the operating room to observe!!
I am 48 years old, 47 at the time of surgery, and a petite female (5’ 2”, 125 lbs). I was very active up until my 40s when hip … Read the rest

ReCerf is momentarily stopped to evaluate the 500 prothesis that have been done and looking at the 2-3 year results.
There is one revision done because of a failure and that is now being studied closely. As this is still a study, such a case, even if it is only one, has to be looked into fully.
When it will start again, we do not know at this moment. We are waiting for the whole
