BIRMINGHAM HIP* Resurfacing
An exciting new alternative to total hip replacement is now available in the
United States. Used successfully for years around the globe, the BIRMINGHAM HIP
Resurfacing System have recently been approved by the Food and Drug
Administration for use in the United States. Now, patients suffering from hip
pain due to arthritis, dysplasia or avascular necrosis can benefit from its
conservative approach to treatment.
Because this technologically advanced surgical procedure resurfaces rather
than replaces the end of your femur (thighbone), you may participate in more
strenuous physical activity with an implant that is potentially more stable and
longer-lasting than traditional total hip replacements. And if future revision
surgery is required, it may be a less complex and less traumatic procedure.
In fact, a 1,626-hip study of the effectiveness of the technique found that
99.5-percent of patients responded they were “Pleased” or “Extremely pleased”
with the results of their BIRMINGHAM HIP Resurfacing surgery.
