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.
What is the recovery process like following a BHR operation? How to recover from a BHR? The McMinn Centre has produced this four-part documentary series detailing patient recovery following a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) procedure.
