TLDR
Because of a high early failure rate, the utilization of hip resurfacing is reduced in patients who are candidates for hip arthroplasty.Abstract:
Background: Hip resurfacing is considered by many to be a conservative alternative to conventional total hip arthroplasty. There are advantages and drawbacks to any procedure, and there is a learning curve associated with the introduction of any new technology. The purpose of this study is to report the complication rate, types of complications, and outcomes of hip resurfacing during the early experience of two high-volume hip surgeons. Methods: Seventy-three hip resurfacing procedures were performed in sixty-four patients between September 2006 and March 2009. These procedures represented 6% of all of the primary hip arthroplasty procedures performed by the two surgeons. Results: After an average duration of follow-up of twenty-five months, there were six revisions—i.e., an early failure rate of 8%. These revisions were performed to treat two deep infections, two femoral neck fractures, one case of femoral implant loosening, and one failure of an acetabular implant. Conclusions: Because of a high early failure rate, we have reduced the utilization of hip resurfacing in our patients who are candidates for hip arthroplasty.read more

Learning Curve of Acetabular Cup Positioning in Total Hip Arthroplasty Using a Cumulative Summation Test for Learning Curve (LC-CUSUM)
TL;DR: A substantial learning period is necessary in the optimal positioning of an acetabular cup in total hip arthroplasty, using the LC-CUSUM test.

TL;DR: Patients with SRA reported higher levels of function with fewer symptoms and less perception of limb length discrepancy when interviewed by an independent third party compared to a similar cohort of young, active patients with THA.

TL;DR: A systematic review of the literature emphasises the importance of certain parameters that can improve the results of resurfacing as well as the type of implant seems to play an important role as does patient selection.

Hip prosthesis introduction and early revision risk. A nationwide population-based study covering 39,125 operations.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of the learning curve for different types of total hip arthroplasties (THAs) and compared these results with the results of more than 100 implantations had been undertaken.

Five year results of the first US FDA-approved hip resurfacing device.
TL;DR: The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing implant is demonstrating results comparable to those in the literature, with a trend toward a gender difference in implant survivorship, with 98.6% of men and 94.7% of women free from revision.

TL;DR: The most common symptom was discomfort in the region of the hip and other symptoms included spontaneous dislocation, nerve palsy, a noticeable mass or a rash as mentioned in this paper, and the common histological features were extensive necrosis and lymphocytic infiltration.

TL;DR: It is estimated that approximately 1% of patients who have a metal-on-metal resurfacing develop a pseudotumour within five years, which is probably multifactorial and may be a toxic reaction to an excess of particulate metal wear debris or a hypersensitivity reaction to a normal amount of metal debris.

Risk factors affecting outcome of metal-on-metal surface arthroplasty of the hip.
TL;DR: Evaluated radiologic and clinical features affecting the outcome of hybrid metal-on-metal surface arthroplasty of the hip in 119 hips in patients 40 years and younger showed that three hips were converted to a total hip replacement at a mean of 27 months after the original surgery.

The Prevalence of Groin Pain After Metal-on-Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty and Total Hip Resurfacing
TL;DR: The authors' data at short-term followup suggest increased rates of groin pain after metal-on-metal THA or resurfacing arthroplasty versus THA using polyethylene or ceramic bearing surfaces.

TL;DR: Advantages may include bone conservation on the femoral side with possible lower dislocation rates, more range-of-motion, more normal gait pattern, increased activity levels, increased ease of insertion with proximal femoral deformities or retained hardware, and straightforward revision.
