Birmingham Hip Resurfacing

BIRMINGHAM HIP RESURFACING : Hip resurfacing is a form of arthroplasty which has been developed as an earlier intervention alternative to total hip replacement (THR). The potential advantages of hip resurfacing include less bone removal (bone preservation), a potentially lower number of hip dislocations due to a relatively larger femoral head size.

The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing is a metal on metal hip device which differs from a total hip replacement device because it may be bone conserving. The femur cap of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing does not require the femur bone be cut off, it is shaped to accept the cap.

The main advantage of the bone conserving system of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing is that when a revision is required, there is still a complete femur bone left. The large size cap and cup of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing are the same size as a person's original femur bone and are designed to prevent dislocations.
