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 |

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. Clinically significant symptomatologies seem to be rare in total knee replacements and metal-on-polyethylene total hip replacements, |
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 |
Smith & Nephew Announcement about THR femur component for BHR revisions 9/2012 Why was there a modification to the indications for use for the BIRMINGHAM HIP Modular Head? We have modified the indications for use of the BIRMINGHAM HIP Modular Head after a careful review of available data and the decreased utilization of this component by customers in all markets where it has been sold. Available data sources show that from 2003 to 2009, |

My Hip Resurfacing, Battle with
Osteomyelitis and a Fused Hip by Edith Crowther
Childhood on a farm until 12 when I went down with Osteomyelitis.(Osteomyelitis is a bone infection often caused by bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus ) Then the following year I came down with Pyomyositis (abscess in the muscle tissue) Both Osteomyelitis and Pyomyositis seemed to take it in turns playing with both hips, wrists and back over the next 6 yrs. The Osteomyelitis |
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

Researchers set safe upper limit metal ion levels for metal-on-metal hip resurfacings Orthopedics Today, July 2012 An award-winning study by researchers from Belgium identified safe upper limits of 4.6 µg/L for chromium and 4.0 µg/L for cobalt in unilateral metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasties and 7.4 µg/L for chromium and 5.0 µg/L for cobalt in bilateral procedures. “Levels higher than [these] established limits were significantly correlated with clinical symptoms, smaller |

Dear Patricia Walter, My name is Maria Litzenberger, I am German and am 64 years old. After suffering for 10 years of arthritis in my left hip (the last 2 years have been so bad that I hardly could sleep from pain and hardly could walk) I made the decision to get an operation. The operation was done at Wockhardt Hospital in Mumbai, India. My surgeon was Dr. Malhan. What was so exceptional about my |

The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) is celebrating being in clinical use for 17
years today. Since then the BHR has been implanted over 150,000 times and is
widely recognised as the most successful hip resurfacing device.
Having implanted two more in theatre yesterday Mr McMinn has implanted in excess
of 3600 BHR’s and changed the lives of many, enabling them to get back to
pain-free, active lifestyles. Mark Edwards was just 38 … Read the rest
Link July 11, 2008 As the incidence of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing has increased in recent years, especially in younger patients, research published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery – British Volume (JBJS-Br) discusses occurrences of “pseudotumours” as a result. The researchers estimate that approximately 1% of patients who have metal-on-metal hip resurfacings develop pseudotumours within five years of treatment. A pseudotumour is ‘a soft-tissue mass associated with the implant…neither malignant nor infective in |
Thomas P. Schmalzried, MD, presented his experience at the International Congress for Joint Reconstruction San Diego 2012 meeting… Although there has been no standard of review established in the United States, Schmalzried noted routine follow-up should be considered good practice… …Schmalzried mentioned the special risks inherent in metal-on-metal hip replacements, including higher monoblock loosening rates and adverse local tissue reactions (ALTRs)… “Head size seems to matter when we talk about total hip replacement in metal-on-metal |
