Indications:
The Surface Replacement Hip (Birmingham Hip / ASR) is indicated for total
joint replacement in patients with severe pain and disability secondary to
structural damage in the hip joint caused by rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis,
post-traumatic arthritis, collagen disorders and avascular necrosis.
The Surface Replacement Hip (Birmingham Hip / ASR) is also indicated for patients
with congenital hip dysplasia, protrusio acetabuli, slipped upper capital
femoral epiphysis and disability due to previous fusion, where bone stock
is inadequate for non-implant reconstruction techniques.
Contraindications:
A number of patient based factors affect the relative suitability of patients
to receive a Surface Replacement. These patient based factors are associated
with a possible increased risk of early failure. The combination of two or
more of these risk factors further lowers the relative suitability of patients
to receive a surface replacement.
Femoral head
cyst>1cm
Decreased bone
mineral density.
Lateral head-neck

Poor shape /

Surface
Replacement 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 been reserving 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.
The following are the group of patients considered for this procedure:
Aged less than
65 years.
Aged 65 years
and over whom participate in activities predicted to shorten the
------life of a traditional total hip replacement.
