Hip Resurfacing and Arthroplasty at Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi

Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) / Surface Arthroplasty of Hip : -


Surface Arthroplasty of Hip (Birmingham Hip / ASR)

Total Hip Replacement has been a revolutionary surgery in orthopedics. Millions of people, attained pain free mobilization following this surgery. However, with the conventional hip replacement there are reservations about this procedure in relatively younger people because of the amount of bones to be scarified and need for reversion surgery later on.

Hip Resurfacing Surgery (BHR Surgery) has come as a boon for younger patients, resulting in very little bone loss and almost normal unrestricted movements and functions following this procedure.

This can also be done in relatively older patients (up to 65 years) if bone stock is good and there are no other contraindications to Surface Arthroplasty of Hip. Certain criteria must be met for suitability of Surface Arthroplasty such as BHR / ASR.

Combination of two or more of following would make Surface Arthroplasty unsuitable : -

  • Femoral head cyst > 1cm.
  • Decreased bone mineral density.
  • Lateral head-neck remodeling; (Loss of contour of lateral head-neck).
  • Poor shape / biomechanics.
  • Short femoral neck < 2 cm.
  • Shallow or small acetabulum.
  • Poor head to neck ratio.
