The Birmingham Mid-Head Resection (Smith & Nephew Ltd, Warwick, United Kingdom) arthroplasty is a new bone-conserving procedure that, like hip resurfacing, is used in younger, active patients. We present the case of a young man with Sotos syndrome (cerebral gigantism) with associated extraordinary stature (height, 2.16 m; weight, 157 kg) who underwent Birmingham Mid-Head Resection arthroplasty. The large stature of this patient required a custom manufactured prosthesis (a femoral head 68 mm in diameter with an acetabular cup 76 mm in diameter). We believe this to be the largest metal-on-metal resurfacing articulation and hip arthroplasty reported to date.
伯明翰中头切除术（Smith & Nephew Ltd，英国沃里克）关节成形术是一种新的保骨手术，与髋关节表面置换术一样，用于年轻、活跃的患者。我们介绍了一例患有 Sotos 综合征（脑巨大症）的年轻男性病例，该患者伴有异常身高（身高 2.16 米；体重 157 公斤），接受了 Birmingham Mid-Head Resection 关节成形术。该患者的高大身材需要定制制造的假体（直径为 68 毫米的股骨头和直径为 76 毫米的髋臼杯）。我们认为这是迄今为止报道的最大的金属对金属表面置换关节和髋关节置换。
