Dr. Pritchett interviews Dr. Frederick Buechel, Sr. renowned orthopedic Surgeon, implant designer and innovator. They discuss hip resurfacing and history of polyethylene resurfacing. Dr. Buechel also shares information about his bilateral hip resurfacing by Dr. Pritchett on December 15, 2015. This is a very interesting and informative video.
The Polymotion Hip Resurfacing device is an allergy-free device that uses a 3mm-thick cup made with a material known as cross-linked polyethylene, one of the toughest plastics in existence.
Traditional metal-on-metal hip resurfacing uses cobalt chromium alloy, explains Mr Derek McMinn, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at BMI Edgbaston Hospital in Birmingham, who developed the new procedure.
‘Metal reactions vary in severity, but in the worst cases can lead to necrosis [death] of surrounding hip muscle … Read the rest
The issue of cup slippage in the immediate postop period is a controversial one.

The BHR™ is produced using the investment casting process from high carbon cobalt chrome in the As Cast micro-structural condition. Wear studies have shown that Cobalt Chrome in its As Cast… Read the rest

View Hip Resurfacing vs Metal on Metal THR Presentation
My take on this is that it is not an unexpected response to the generally higher than desired failure rate of MOM total hips. None of the doctors I know will primarily recommend a MOM THR anymore. A few short years ago these were very popular, mostly due to the fact that dislocations continue to plague THR, representing the single biggest reason for … Read the rest
