Hip Resurfacing Report from AJRR 2016 Report

Hip Resurfacing Information at Surface Hippy Posted on by
Hip resurfacing represented less than 1% of the total hip arthroplasty procedures in our sample, as surgeons have moved away from the metal-on-metal articulations that predominated (Figure 19). This procedure remains highly concentrated among both hospitals and surgeons; in 2015, resurfacing was done in only 48 AJRR hospitals by 63 surgeons. One surgeon accounted for 117 of the 448 resurfacing procedures (26%), while another performed 52 procedures (11.6%). The majority (86.1%) of the resurfacing procedures were performed on males, consistent with
the practice in registries worldwide 7,8.

The use of primary total
resurfacing hip replacement has declined for the
fourth consecutive year. There was a 22.1%
reduction in primary total resurfacing
procedures compared to 2009. Analyses on a
variety of factors affecting outcome have been
presented. These include primary diagnosis,
gender, age, head size and type of prosthesis.
Patients having a total resurfacing for
osteoarthritis are revised less frequently than
patients with developmental dysplasia. Females
have a significantly higher rate of revision
compared to males. Males have an age related
rate of revision, which is significantly higher
for patients 65 years or older.

As reported last year, the difference in outcome
related to gender is largely due to the size of
the femoral component. There is an inverse
relationship between rate of … Read the rest
