The evolution of patient sporting activities after hip resurfacing has not yet been studied. A scoring algorithm to quantify sporting activity was developed to compare type of activity, frequency, duration,…
The results of metal-on-metal hip Conserve® Plus resurfacings with up to 14 years of follow-up with and without risk factors of small component size and/or large femoral defects were compared…
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) results in good outcomes in function and risk for revision in older patients. However, in young, active patients, it results in an increased rate of revision…
This retrospective, consecutive case series of a single surgeon performed between 2001 and 2010 assesses the outcome following revision of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasties (N = 113). Mean time to revision…
Metal-on-metal total hip replacements (THRs) and hip resurfacings are coming under increasing scrutiny in light of concerns that they fail because of high wear and elevated metal ions. The aim…
With experience in metal-metal resurfacing, several opportunities to improve resurfacing technology have been identified. There is a need for better education on hip resurfacing in residency training programs. The majority…
The current study measured ion release among large-head metal-on-metal hip bearings. Twenty-six patients with a modular, Profemur® TL with A-Class® big femoral head total hip replacement were matched (gender, femoral…
Conventional radiography is the primary imaging modality to evaluate the condition of hip resurfacing implants and the preferred method of assessing implant stability over time. Radiographs assess the angle of…
This article determines the incidence and cause of the complications commonly associated with metal-on-metal hip resurfacing implants and the proposed methods to prevent these complications. The literature available in PubMed…
The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes of the first 191 fully porous-coated hip resurfacing arthroplasties with 96 hybrid hip resurfacing arthroplasties performed during the…
