Most MDM designs uses chrome cobalt in both the ball and the socket. That's the equivalent to injecting mercury into the blood stream every single day. No thanks. I would rather not walk. For the people who approved anything including chrome cobalt in a human body they should be in jail serving a life sentence

I only saw my surgeon once after surgery because I was having low blood pressure problems after surgery. So he doesn't know about how it really went for me - and doesn't have time to care.

90 Days since this announcement. Has this podcast been cancelled?

Left hip Cormet 2000 resurfacing ... installed 2002 still looking perfect. Male 70. Having a BHR installed on the right shortly.

Why can't they just come up with either an injection that stops the pain permanently, or a non-liver-destroying medication that can be taken safely that stops the pain in its tracks. Surgery is so invasive, with so many risks.

I am 33 yrs old with AVN diagnosed on my right hip head 3 years ago. Can the resurfacing be applied to patients with AVN? I’ve just start to research because I want to do the surgery cuz of my pain increase. And can the resurfacing be combined with X-linked polyethylene implant?

Hey Joe, do you know of any doctors in the US doing hip resurfacing via the anterior approach? Preferably not metal on metal. I’m 37 and due for my 2nd hip resurfacing. I had my first 4 years ago with Dr. James Pritchett. The end result was great. But the initial recovery was brutal. I’ve been doing everything I can to try & find someone doing HR though the anterior but have had no luck.

I'm a runner and martial artist(Taekwon-Do and Kickboxing). I had THA (anterior approach) at 46 years old. Within 6 months of the procedure, I was back to running and martial arts. I also lift weights and I can do weighted bridges with 600lbs. NEVER had a problem with my new hip and it has been 5 years.

I had a total hip replacement posterior and I can't tell the difference now. Running all the time lifting heavy its been awesome

Just got a THA from Dr. Leone in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Stryker Trident PLS HA size I 68 mm with a MDM liner size I 54 mm inner diameter. Yes, I have big bones!

Same question, but in Massachusetts.

As a retired surgeon, I find it rather remarkable to witness another surgeon smoking (vaping) while being recorded. Not only does it send the wrong message to anyone watching but the lack of restraint is astounding.

Curious if anyone has recommendations for surgeon that is familiar with dual mobility hip replacements in Colorado

Sounds brutal. All of this is convincing me more and more that a resurfacing is the better approach

both make very good points; agreed, different demeanors, that’s for sure, but she also makes some good points regarding early failure and revision rates, and subsequent revision surgery challenges.

excelent!!!

I am 10 years in to a BHR and its been amazing so far. Been very active...No real impact sports like running or kick boxing but ive done lots of walking (Including Hills and Mountains), cycling, punching heavy bags and weights with no problems..... I also have a younger girlfriend who is not complaining ;-) I do find I need another one now (Hip, not girlfriend)....which is why I have found myself researching again. I am waiting for my blood test to come back then I will decide. Apparently, people with BHR need blood testing every year...in that respect I have been failed. What ever you decide to do I wish you all the luck and success possible.

As a surgeon, the layman listening to this believes resurfacing is the better procedure. Actually it’s the more conservative approach, albeit a more difficult surgery. The major problem is metalosis and this is devastating. In the US, only metal on metal (Birmingham) is available and a significant number of patients have increased levels of chromium. This is understated as it’s a major contributor to cancer, heart disease, dementia, etc. Most total hips are ceramic on cross-linked polyethylene which is well tolerated. If resurfacing had ceramic on ceramic or polyethylene, it would be a game changer. I’m having surgery in the near future and I prefer ceramic, I’m going with a total.

What about female?

I hope you are well. Visiting your channel I have seen your all videos and content are very good but your video SEO optimization is not professional. Perhaps you are busy for managing the channel.

I’m a 52 year old cyclist, netball umpire, and ex-baseballer. I’ve just had my second Birmingham and am recovering. So happy with the first one from 2 years ago. I don’t think that the female speaker spoke well. Maybe I’m biased. 🤷🏽

Thank you to those who are taking the X-rays ahead of surgery, especially for those of us with spinal issues. I tried to explain to my surgeon that I have low-back issues, including L5-S1 diskectomy. Unfortunately, I was not educated enough to know (until watching this video) that I should have/could have self-advocated for standing X-rays (my pelvis tilts). Post surgery, there is approximately 3/8” discrepancy in my leg length - leading to more back issues. I wish the surgeon had given my concerns a little more credence (or attended your conference), given my prior history, my young age, etc. I know myself and my body very well, and a “pragmatic,” repeatable, conveyor-belt approach to medicine rarely works for my anatomy and physiology. Sadly, most doctors endeavor from a position of thinking they already know it all. The small percentage of patients like me (the outliers) pay the price. So, again, thank you to the thoughtful, careful, and forward thinking surgeons who go the extra mile, especially for those patients who are outside the bell curve. If you don’t already do so, consider at least checking in with your patient to see if he/she has special concerns which may warrant an open mind and meeting the patient halfway with regard to preliminary safeguards to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Very happy to see this. I need a replacement. I am heavily involved with Jiu Jitsu, weight lifting, power walking etc. I need a hip replacement. Resurfacing seems to be a no brainer, i much rather have this done than the traditional long stem. What i keep hearing is that metal on metal causes IONS to be released into the body causing poisoning of the body. Is this true ? Is there a socket or femoral head that is not metal ?

Dose anyone in Las Vegas Nevada do this?

What about antero-lateral?

I have resurfaced hip carried out by Prof Meek (Glasgow). 4 Years now and still a long distance runner at the age of 66! Engineering principles pro resurfacing!

If resurfacing was enough for Mark Calaway to go on and keep performing as he did for the last few years of his career, it's good enough for the average person lol

Also, I'm a little concerned here when people talk about the mortality rate post surgery. Am I really shortening my life by getting a hip replacement of any kind? Why would that even be? Other than the usual risks of any surgery, why would replacing a hip cause you to die earlier? I hope to live another 20 years, I'd hate to cut it in half by getting a hip replacement, even if that means more pain and limited mobility during those years.

I know that the Imperial College of London's ceramic on ceramic hip resurfacing is (hopefully) a few months away from approval in the UK, another six months of prep work after that before they are providing a ceramic on ceramic hip resurfacing to clients, what is the status of metal on poly hip resurfacing? When that might be available in the US, or via medical tourism?

Had my hip resurfaced in 2021. Recovery takes longer and is tougher than a THR. I'm back doing all the sports I used to do with no restrictions. So glad I went this route vs a THR

Hello from Rancho Mirage California 🇺🇸 Thank you , Doctors for your amazing work and information ℹ️ 💫🌎❤️

I need this !! Hello from Rancho Mirage California 🇺🇸

Hello from Rancho Mirage California 🇺🇸

dr. f is an arrogant B....! I am a petite female who had hip resurfacing 13 yrs. ago when I was only 43. Dr. Gross did an outstanding job that allowed me to push my flexibility demands to the limit! It was a full year to full recovery but I was able to excel in competitive pole dancing! Dr. Sanders was professional in his discussion and demeanor, If I had a consult with Dr. F. I would have left the office immediately! What the hell...

'PromoSM'

Well said 😂😂😂😂❤👍ℹ️🇺🇸💫🌎💪🌹

Do I know if a doctor will give me my hip resurfacing and I need a hip resurfacing and he chooses to do the hip replacement because it's going to make more money in the pockets of the corporation

Nbho ho no no no 47

Great academic talk. I am also getting wound CX when using DAA. Cleared a few doubts. Thanks. Looking forward for more awesome videos. Regards. Dr Abhijit Joshi Pune India

Great Presentation.

Dr Ferguson could use a lesson in humility. She’s full of herself and comes across as an idiot with a god complex. Next…

Hip Resurfacing requires special skills. Only a few doctors in the whole world have successful records. You need special training. Stop blaming on metal on metal. I have hip resurfacing. It is very successful - run, jump, bike, kick, squats, hike, lifts - the whole nine yards. I can do everything. The data is out there, published by the few successful doctors. Top professional athletes (Andy Murray, Ryan Kelser, Patrick Kane, Colby Lewis, Michael Rix, on and on ) only get hip resurfacings to continue their career. The total hip replacement requires less skill (or thinking) to do surgery. You let the prothesis do the work. Hip resurfacing requires placement (needs thinking).

Awesome series, thanks for putting it out there!

I heard that the metal on metal hip resurfacing implants are causing issues with patients. Do they make a better ceramic inplant that lasts longer?

I had resurfacing on both hips...in my 40s. Yeah...had acetabular impingement for years and had no idea. I was a tennis instructor and participated in martial arts training which was halted quickly. I went a good 6 years dealing with the pain and then it got pretty gnarly so decided to have resurfacing back in 2009 and so far so good!

is it just me or does the lady seem that she has enjoyed the complimentary wine a bit to much , acetabular ream is exactly the same but the total hip has plastic liner so ball is smaller resurface does not have plastic liner but the cup is the same size as thr, ball is bigger for resurface but is metal on metal ,

Dr F did have a very good point about the bone sparing aspect in the Resurfaced hip not holding true for the acetabular portion.

Bad surgeons - bad results.

Dr F ignores the study showing patients that have both a THR and a resurfaced hip. The resurfaced hip is vastly higher rated. Also, she is using old data on the resurfaced hip issues.

I had a resurfaced hip 21 years ago. I also enjoyed playing racketball again after I had healed. I also resumed aggressive bicycling. I am now 72 and doing well. My Doctor was Doctor Gross of Columbia South Carolina.
