Read Complete Study by clicking hereMay 2011Despite being proclaimed as “The operation of the century,” total hip arthroplasty is far from an ideal procedure. In fact, one study found that “in spite of a good hip score, only 43% of patients had all of their expectations completely fulfilled,” said Robert L. Barrack, MD, chief of service, Orthopedic Surgery, at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo. Although patient selection is rarely an |

Young and active patients with arthritis often choose hip resurfacing over total hip replacement to minimize the risk of hip dislocation, and to preserve the bone for a |

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 |
Dr. Kurtz had an article online that had concerns about the head neck rations of hip placement. We wanted to provide potential hip resurfacing patients with opinions of other top resurfacing surgeons to explain their views. Hi Vicky, Thanks for the mail. I read Dr. Kurtz thoughts on hip resurfacing in his In short , his concerns only underline the fact that |
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 |
DO NOT WAIT I am a retired 69 year old surgeon. For most of my life I had been super fit: competitive squash 5-6 times a week, heli-skiing, windsurfing, sailing, single handicap golf etc. I left it too late to have surgery and I find this is a common story (see Jimmy Connors, Jack Nicklaus, etc.) As there are now two options: BHR and THR, this has become important. Like most people, trouble started with |
What are the differences between the posterior and anterior surgical approaches? Recovery is quicker with the posterior approach because no To improve stability and reduce the incidence of dislocation |
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 |

One must remember that with a resurfacing or a THR – one is not aiming to give supra normal movement. One is merely trying to restore normal movement present before the onset of hip arthritis. The head- neck offset is an important determinant of ROM. This is restored by a properly done resurfacing even in patients who have a poor head neck offset as in FAI ( femoro – acetabular impingement. Hence full |

The ReCap® Femoral Resurfacing System replaces the diseased surface of the femoral head and is designed to restore the normal anatomy and biomechanical function of the hip joint. The major advantage of the ReCap® Femoral Resurfacing System is its conservative nature. By avoiding medullary canal intrusion, it preserves valuable femoral bone stock, making it a bone-preserving alternative to total hip arthroplasty.

Jacobs, MD. “Metal allergy [with] orthopedic implants has been well documented in isolated cases,” Jacobs said during his presentation at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2012 Annual Meeting/Orthopaedics Research Society symposium. “The true prevalence is unknown.

FDA to Stryker: Fix hip implant flawsLink to Original Article SNBC
By LINDA A. JOHNSON updated 5:48 p.m. ET, Wed., Jan. 16, 2008
TRENTON, N.J. – Federal regulators have ordered medical device maker Stryker Corp. to fix a host of long-standing problems in its manufacturing of hip replacement parts that have triggered multiple patient complaints and forced some to have follow-up surgeries. Stryker shares fell almost 2 percent. |
