Sue from the UK and her BMHR with Dr. McMinn
I had a BMHR 4 weeks ago. The operation was broadcast live to the States as interactive training for 100 surgeons, so hopefully it is intended to be available elsewhere too, though when we don’t know, as it’s still in the early trial stage. I was born with CHD ..my femoral head was very soft because it wasn’t in the socket, hadn’t been weight bearing and had lost some of its calcium. So I wasn’t |

Gait Study about Hip Replacement at Surface Hippy
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. “ |

MRI after hip resurfacing by Dr. Rubinstein
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 |

Soft Tissue Reactions to Metal-on-Metal Arthroplasty
Read Complete Article Here By Robert Trace September 17, 2009 MANCHESTER – Researchers here reported that adverse soft tissue reactions following metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty are typically due to increased wear of the bearing surfaces, and patients with smaller femoral heads may be particularly susceptible to these complications. In an independent center study, David Langton, FRCS, and colleagues in the Joint Replacement Unit at the University Hospital of North Tees in Stockton, England, reviewed 155 Birmingham |

Minimally Invasive Approach to Hip Resurfacing Surgery Dr. Bose 2008
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 |
Incision Length by Dr. Lichtblau
7/03/08 Dr. Lichtblau of Quebec The anterior vs. posterior debate isn’t going to be resolved by one study of electrode blood flow. Most surgeons would agree that blood flow to the femoral head (most of which comes backwards via the femoral neck) is theoretically better preserved through an anterior approach. Much of this info comes from the work of Ganz, who did a lot of cadaver dissection to prove this. Having said that, there doesn’t |
