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 aims of this systematic review were to assess the documented long-term survival rates of the metal-on-metal BIRMINGHAM HIP Resurfacing System at a follow-up of at least 10 years and to analyze the functional outcomes and cause of failures.
Complications such as heart attack, stroke or death can occur after hip replacement as with other forms of major surgery. These complications are rare and the anaesthetist will not allow the operation to proceed if it is felt that the risks are significantly higher than normal.

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.
3 maj 2022 · Background: Young men with osteoarthritis of the hip are a growing segment of the population requiring arthroplasty, and there is compelling evidence that the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) system provides good functional outcomes and durability in young, active men.
