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).

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

A member of the JointMedica team was privileged to have attended the inaugural Pathways Conference, held in London on 4 October 2019. Details of this independent scientific meeting can be found at the following link. 

Crosslink Polyethylene Hip Resurfacing Device by Mr. McMinn and Jointmedica
This meeting coincided with the 50th anniversary of JRI Orthopaedics. Founded in 1969 by orthopaedic surgeon Ronald Furlong. It is acknowledged within the orthopaedic industry that JRI was the first company to offer a primary total hip replacement implant with Hydroxyapatite coating. https://jri-ltd.com/

This event was chaired by Prof Justin Cobb, Chair of Orthopaedics and clinical lead at Imperial College, London. Prof Cobb also serves as a civilian advisor in orthopaedics to the Royal Air Force and is Orthopaedic Surgeon to Her Majesty the Queen.

Polymotion Hip Resurfacing Device by Mr. McMinn 2015

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on by

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.

Polymotion-Hip-Resurfacing-McMinn-2015

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 and permanent disability for the patient,’ he said.

Another benefit of the capping procedure is that less bone is removed, in contrast to total hip replacements when the femoral head (ball joint of the hip) is replaced by a stemmed device and very little of the upper leg bone is … Read the rest
