What are the Results of Hip Resurfacing Surgery ?
Long term results of hip resurfacing surgery are not yet know as it has only been in clinical usage in its current form for 6 years, however, the results over this period have been very good and all at least as good as conventional hip replacement. The long term reliability of the implant will not be known until it has been in widespread usage for 15 to 20 years. The historical metal on metal (MoM) which share their metallurgical heritage with the BIRMINGHAM HIP Resurfacing have been shown to last in excess of 30 years.
