Kevin Brown from Device Nation Interviews Tim Band and Russell Walter about the Polymotion Hip Resurfacing Device
Kevin Brown from Device Nation interviewed Tim Band and Russell Walter from Joint Medica Limited about the Polymotion Hip Resurfacing Device at the CCJR meeting in December 2025 . Kevin gave Surfacehippy.info permission to share this video for everyone interested in the Polymotion Hip Resurfacing device and hip resurfacing in general. Thank You for sharing your interview, Kevin!

JointMedica gives YOU a first-hand demo on Polymotion hip resurfacing…Cool!!Have you heard of this platform?
The Polymotion Hip Resurfacing (PHR) System is an innovative bone-preserving hip implant designed for younger, active patients, featuring a cobalt-chrome femoral cap and a Vitamin E-enhanced polyethylene (Vit E-XPE) socket with a titanium coating, aiming to restore natural hip anatomy, conserve bone, and potentially allow higher activity levels than traditional total hip replacements.
Developed by independent company JointMedica, based on designs by Derek McMinn and Ronan Treacey, it’s currently in clinical trials (NCT06792539) to assess its safety and effectiveness as an alternative to conventional hip replacement for suitable candidates.
Key Features:
Bone Conservation: Removes less of the femoral head than total hip replacement, keeping more of the patient’s natural bone.
Biocompatible Materials: Uses a cobalt-chrome femoral component and a socket made of Vitamin E crosslinked polyethylene with a titanium coating, reducing metal-on-metal issues.
Natural Biomechanics: Reshapes the femoral head to fit the socket, aiming to restore more natural movement.
Target Patient: Ideal for active individuals under 65 who might otherwise need a hip replacement due to arthritis but could face future revision surgery.
Potential Benefits Over Traditional THA:
-Better bone preservation.
-Improved gait and higher activity potential.
-Lower risk of dislocation.
-Reduced alteration in leg length.
What do you think?
Would YOU opt for a resurfacing over a traditional total?
