Resurfacing patients had gait characteristics that were comparable to normal hips. Although standard hip replacements had markedly improved gait parameters when compared to osteoarthritic hips they never approached resurfacing or normals. “ |

Can I have an MRI after I had a hip resurfacing? This is a question many people ask after having a hip resurfacing. This is Dr. Rubinstein’s answer: MRI is perfectly safe with any orthopaedic implant (joint replacements, fracture hardware screws and others). The implants may degrade the picture quality in the areas right near the implants but no harm will come to the implants or the surrounding bone. Pacemakers are another story and are |

5/1/08 Yes, it is true that minimally invasive approach has been proven not to have great benefits over a conventional incision in terms of blood loss, pain , or speed of recovery in the same surgeons hands. It is only of cosmetic value. All studies to investigate this have been done on two groups of patients in which a single surgeon employs the two approaches in the diff groups. When a surgeon who is capable |
Having read with much interest the reports of others who were some way down the track, I thought I would weigh in with an overview report of my own first year. I am a male living in Melbourne Australia, and first realized that I had OA around 2000. It became a bit painful doing leg presses at the gym (so I stopped), and I started getting pains in my right thigh, even going down to |
Prednizone Side Effects – Should I Be Worried if I Take this Drug? By Nathan Wei Prednizone- the correct spelling is “prednisone”- is a commonly used oral glucocorticoid medicine. The adrenal glands manufacture a natural form of glucocorticoid. Glucocorticoids are responsible for many functions in the body including maintenance of blood pressure, proper use of sugar, protein, and fat metabolism, response to stress, and many other tasks. Glucocorticoids manufactured by the body are referred to |
Larger cups and optimal positioning produced lowest ion
levels and wear
In a review of 585 blood serum evaluations following hip resurfacing, only femoral size and cup inclination were found to have an effect on ion levels, according a study by orthopedic investigators. The findings were presented at the 2010 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. David J. Langton, MRCS, and his colleagues also found that the size of the coverage angle |
The post approach which I employ is traditionally known as the muscle sparing approach and the anterior and anterolateral approaches which is very popular in the U.S and some parts of Europe are the muscle compromising approaches. The muscle here refers to the Abductor group or the muscles which lift your leg sideways and is the most important muscle of the hip. The post approach spares this completely.However some muscle have to be cut in |
The Birmingham (Smith & Nephew, Richards) total HSR was the first to get FDA approval in the US based on an unprecedented FDA decision to approve this implant on the basis of single (developing) surgeon’s foreign data. Cormet 2000 ( Corin Ltd., Stryker) total HSR was the first to be approved based on the usual mechanism of a US run Multi-center FDA study( approval 7/2007, I was the lead investigator). Therefore, there are now 2 … Read the rest
IN PRAISE OF DR. BALASUBRAMANIAN (COIMBATORE, INDIA)
In January, I had my left hip resurfaced by Dr. Bose in
Chennai. Although
both hips were almost equally bad (bone on bone), Dr. Bose
was very
reluctant to operate on both, so I had the left hip operated
on, returned
home to Chicago and hoped for the best.
Unfortunately, my
right hip began
getting worse, and after about 5 weeks, it became apparent
that I’d have to… Read the rest
