June 1, 2018 – BARCELONA, Spain – Total surface replacement may still be a viable hip arthroplasty option in young, active patients based on how well it fared in a study when it was revised to total hip replacement vs. primary THR that was revised to THR, according to a presenter at the EFORT Annual Congress…

Loose or Slipped Acetabulum Cups by Dr. Bose

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on December 31, 2015 by Patricia WalterJanuary 1, 2016

The issue of cup slippage in the immediate postop period is a controversial one.
While bone ingrowth takes around 6 wks. – the hydroxy apatite to bone chemical reaction can occur much more quickly.

If we surgeons feel that the cup is not perfectly tight ( press fit)  during the surgery then we restrict activities for a 6 -8 wk period .This is done in the hope that no precipitating event would occur that would … Read the rest

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 17, 2015 by Patricia WalterDecember 17, 2015

Knowing the cause of resurfacing failure can ensure successful conversion to THR by Edwin Su, MD

The shell can be retained in cases involving femoral neck fracture, femoral loosening or impingement.

March 2010

Causes of failure

“The cause of failure must be carefully assessed prior to the conversion surgery in order to ensure an optimal THR outcome,” Su said. He noted that femoral neck fracture is the primary cause of short-term failure in resurfacing procedures.

I Have Bone Cysts, Can I Have a Hip Resurfacing?

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 17, 2015 by Patricia WalterJuly 28, 2017

Dr. Bose –  I have bone cysts, can I have a hip resurfacing?

The presence of a cysts by itself is not a contraindication for resurfacing. It does not preclude resurfacing automatically. One must keep in mind that cyst formation is a natural occurrence in osteoarthritis and is very common though the extent, quantity & location may vary.

Cysts are of course much more common and invariably present in AVN. The assessment of certain technical … Read the rest

Bone Cysts by Dr. Scott Rubinstein

Phone: 773-327-8300

Cysts are very common in arthritic hips and can usually be
seen on x-rays. Most of the time they are not a problem with
resurfacing because they are small and in the part of the bone removed in
milling the femoral head for a resurf. Most larger ones can be filled
with a cement of bone chips and still do a good … Read the rest

Pseudotumours Risk For Hip Resurfacing Highlights

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 17, 2015 by Patricia WalterOctober 23, 2019

Link

July 11, 2008

As the incidence of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing has increased in recent years, especially in younger patients, research published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery – British Volume (JBJS-Br) discusses occurrences of “pseudotumours” as a result. The researchers estimate that approximately 1% of patients who have metal-on-metal hip resurfacings develop pseudotumours within five years of treatment. A pseudotumour is ‘a soft-tissue mass associated with the implant…neither malignant nor infective in

Acetabular Revision in Hip Resurfacing by Thomas Gross MD 1/9/2015

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 17, 2015 by Patricia WalterDecember 13, 2015
January 9, 2015 THR= total hip replacement HRA= hip resurfacing arthroplasty

If an HRA has failed, I try to solve the problem by revising only the acetabular component whenever possible because HRA are functionally better than THR. If only the acetabular component is revised, the patient still has a HRA. If the femoral component is revised, the patient now has a THA.

Currently revising only the acetabular component with a metal/metal (M/M) articulation is only … Read the rest

Acoustic Phenomena in Hip Resurfacing 2009 Koen De Smet, MD; Alessandro Calistri, MD

AMC Ghent, Krijgslaan 181, 9000 Ghent, Belgium Background: While providing superior hardness and improved wear characteristics, hard bearings such as metal-on-metal, or ceramic-on-ceramics bearings have different lubrication properties than hard on soft (metal- or ceramic-on-poly) bearing couples. A failure in this lubrication mechanism in metal-on-metal resurfacing prostheses can lead to squeaking… Read the rest
