Hip Resurfacing

Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) restores the hip to near the patients original anatomy, avoiding some of the problems of THR e.g. leg lengthening and dislocation. Patients who have had a THR on one side and a BHR on the other report that the BHR feels stronger and more natural.

Patients' who have had congenital hip dysplasia(CDH), Perthe's disease of hip and avascular necrosis(AVN) are special cases. Mr Bloomfield will advise if it is still possible to resurface you.

Mr Bloomfield started performing hip resurfacing in March 2000 after visiting Mr McMinn in Birmingham.

A metal resurfacing of the femoral head, in conjunction with a metal socket, is used to provide an alternative solution to a total hip replacement (THR). Click here to see images. The combination is extremely hard wearing and yet gives the patient a good range of motion with quick recovery times. Most patients go back to driving a car 3 to 4 weeks after surgery and are back at work by 6 weeks or less.

Since its conception, Mr Bloomfield's resurfacing clinic has seen a regular through-put of cases. By March 2006, Mr Bloomfield had performed more than 500 Hip Resurfacings.
