An Initial Experience with Hip Resurfacing versus Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty

Abstract

In comparison to our initial experience with a cementless THA stem, operative complications occur earlier and more often after hip resurfacing during the learning period. The clinical outcomes in both groups however are similar at 5 year follow-up.

Comparison of revision risks and complication rates between total HIP replacement and HIP resurfacing within the similar age group

“…The most common systems used for HR were Durom hybrid resurfacing [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] followed by Conserve plus. 7,9,20,23,26,30 For the THR group the variety of implants used are shown in Table 3. In the TAAG data, the most commonly used system for resurfacing was Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) in 96% of cases.…”
