By: Benny philip Hip Resurfacing Surgery a much more advanced option compared to the conventional Total Hip replacement is now attracting a large number of patients from USA, UK and other parts of the world to the hospitals in India. Hip resurfacing or surface replacement arthroplasty is a bone-conserving alternative to conventional total hip replacement (THR). Some of the Hip Joint Specialist Surgeons in India have a vast experience of performing more than 1500 joint replacement surgeries with excellent outcomes. These surgeons use most advanced technology and prosthesis for surgery and give a lot of focus on post surgery patient care, physical therapy and rehabilitation for quicker recovery and restoration of mobility of the hip joint. Unlike THR, Hip resurfacing does not involve the removal of the femoral head and neck; hence the head, neck and femur bone is preserved in an effort to facilitate future surgery to enable the patient to take advantage of newer technology or treatments in the future. The current generation of hip resurfacing devices utilizes a metal-metal bearing. Hip resurfacing is anatomically and biomechanical more similar to the natural hip joint resulting in increased stability, flexibility and range of motion. Further, the dislocation risk is virtually eliminated. Higher activity levels are typically achieved with less risk. This surgery is less invasive and rehabilitation after the operation is quicker. Patients are encouraged to be active after surgery as this improves the bone stock. Conventional total hip replacements usually consist of a stemmed femoral component that is fixed into the femoral canal using cement articulating with a polyethylene cup cemented into the pelvis. There are several conventional total hip replacement systems that have been proven to work well in elderly inactive patients. In Hip replacement surgery thigh bone is generally removed which leads to the loss of large quantity of normal bone. All these reduce the bone stock and make any future revision procedures difficult. They work less well in the younger patients with poorer survival. They do not allow full unrestricted activity and can dislocate. BHR is more advanced than the conventional hip replacement surgery. It has changed the lives of many young arthritics worldwide. For some of the hip joint problems/diseases like Avascular Necrosis, Hip Dysplasia with Secondary Arthritis, Old Perthes Diseases, Ankylosing Spondylitis and Young Age Osteoarthritis - BHR is proving as an effective solution. Carolyn from USA who underwent Birmingham Hip Resurfacing at one of the JCI accredited hospitals in India says “After three years of pain, difficulty walking, and an inability to work, I have finally entered a new hopeful and exciting chapter in my life”. Another patient Rosemarie from Germany says “You cannot imagine how it is when after 10 years of pain you can walk again, normal, without pain, but with a lot of fun, discovering more and more the beauty of our wonderful mountains here. Nobody can believe that I had my operation just half a year ago. I am so happy.” Unlike Traditional hip replacement surgery the amount of bone removed is much smaller. During the surgery the joint is removed and resurfaced with a round femoral cup and metal acetabular socket. There is no risk of limb length changes at operation. Rehabilitation is much faster. The joint is then lubricated by the hip’s natural fluid. In BHR, preservation of bone stock at the time of operation and less stress shielding makes it easy to revise the surgery, if needed. This procedure helps in sacrificing only the diseased bone and acetabular socket preserves normal bone. The advantages of BHR over the conventional hip replacement surgery are: • Removes only unhealthy bone and replaces it with a metal on metal articulation. • Everlasting - based on 35-year history in Birmingham of metal on metal implants. • Excellent restoration of full function. • Femoral head remains viable after BHR surgery.It does not sacrifice normal bone during primary surgery. • Activity restriction not required after surgery, as there is hardly any risk of dislocation. Patient can indulge in full sporting activities without risk of dislocation. Patients have gone back to sports like competitive Judo and Squash after surgery. • Overall 99% success rate - ideal option for the younger or more active patient. • Many adolescent patients have had the procedure with excellent results. Procedure can be done soon after skeletal maturity. For any help or more information on Hip Surgery in India.
