I had a total hip replacement when I was 28 and it was the best decision I ever made. I am totally pain free and more active now than ever. That was almost six years ago. BEST ortho doctor is Dr. Hozack from the Rothman Hozack Institute, they operate out of Thomas Jefferson - Philadelphia

For young patients with good quality bone stock but are effected by osteoarthritis then there is no better solution than the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR).

A BHR is a bone conserving alternative to a Total Hip Replacement (THR) is hip resurfacing. The BHR is an implant aimed at young active patients who want there quality of life back!

Patients who have had BHRs have gone on to run marathons, climb mountains and much more due to the success of their implants.

Instead of replacing the old worn out joint, a BHR resurfaces the femoral head with a Cobalt-Chrome component and inserts a Cobalt-Chrome cup into the acetabular socket. This metal on metal technique last longer and has less wear than the traditional Metal on Plastic THR.

By conserving the bone at the femoral head, revisions should they be needed are much simplier than they are if a THR has been carried out at first.

The BHR was pioneered by Derek McMinn in Birmingham, UK. The implant has a high success rate currently at 97% at 13 years which compared to similar statistics for a THR, they are staggering.

Derek McMinn has received accollade from the world over and has lectured to some of the biggest names in Orthapaedics. Mr McMinn is known internationally for his work and continues to operate on patients from all corners of the globe.
