18 maj 2024 · We previously reported the five to ten-year results of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) implant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survivorship, radiographic results, and clinical outcomes of the BHR at long-term follow-up.
25 mar 2024 · The objectives of this systematic review were to analyze the long-term survival rates of the BIRMINGHAM HIP Resurfacing System (BHR), the cause of failures, and the functional outcomes at a follow-up of at least 10 years.
On average, more than 90% of hip resurfacings in men are still working well after ten years. As with all artificial joints, wear and loosening can occur. If you experience new pain in your replaced hip, this can be a sign of loosening and you should seek advice from your GP or the orthopaedic team.

Hip resurfacing may be considered if your hip has been damaged by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, dysplasia, or avascular necrosis. The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing System is designed to conserve more bone than a traditional hip replacement.
The Birmingham hip replacement may have a very low failure rate at 8 years, approximately 1%. More recent data suggests that a slightly higher early failure rate may be present. It is thought that once the first 1-2 years have passed the risk of failure becomes very low.
Birmingham Metal-on-metal total hip resurfacing (BHR) is a bone-conserving option for patients with advanced articular damage. While the outcomes of Total Hip Replacement (THR) are well documented, there is a paucity of literature comparing the patient reported outcomes of BHR versus THR.
