Poor 10-year survivorship of hip resurfacing arthroplasty

Background and purpose - In a previous registry report, short-term implant survival of hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) in Finland was found to be comparable to that of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Since then, it has become evident that adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMDs) may also be associated with HRA, not only with large-diameter head metal-on-metal THA. The aim of the study was to ...

Function After Revision of Acetabulum in Hip Resurfacing

Early results of femoral component revision are shown to be comp...
