The number of hip resurfacing procedures performed in the United Kingdom has doubled in the last four years reflecting its popularity among orthopaedic surgeons. Of the available options the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) prosthesis has been the most popular choice in this country. Despite this revision rates have been shown to be higher in the resurfacing group compared to the total hip arthroplasty group particularly in the early postoperative period. Revision of the BHR acetabular component is technically demanding due to several unique design features of this component. We discuss these features and describe a novel reliable and reproducible technique for revision of the BHR cup.
在过去四年中，英国进行的髋关节表面置换手术数量翻了一番，这反映出该手术在骨科医生中颇受欢迎。在现有选择中，伯明翰髋关节表面置换（BHR）假体在该国一直是最受欢迎的选择。尽管如此，与全髋关节置换组相比，表面置换组的翻修率更高，尤其是在术后早期。由于该部件的几个独特设计特点，BHR髋臼部件的翻修在技术上要求很高。我们讨论了这些特点，并描述了一种用于BHR髋臼杯翻修的新颖、可靠且可重复的技术。
