It never occurred to me that young tennis players would need hip replacements. I thought it was only for seniors! I guess you learn something every day! Thanks for a great video!
Good video and an informative update- thanks. However, I notice that you don’t mention the competition. The Ceramic H1 Hip Resurfacing implants currently being developed by the fantastic Prof Justin Cobb and his amazing team at Imperial College, London. Like Recerf, H1 isn’t yet available commercially as it completes the approval process, however, it may be available via a clinical trial. Having personally benefitted from bilateral hip resurfacing with H1 implants just over 3 years ago, I can say that they’ve given me back a full and active life - truly life changing.
Hi Jeremy, I hope you are well, I went abroad to Lithuania four months ago for a dual mobility hip implant. The surgeon seemed evasive when I asked questions about the implant, before and after the operation. Anyway I just got my x-rays after 3 months from the NHS which I have just sent to them to satisfy their garrantee. They seem poor quality, and I can't help thinking they have put in a standard prosthetic instead. Would you be interested in taking a look if I sent you the x-rays. If they are not clear enough I will go private for better x-rays.
Ive been trying to follow all studies on ceramic resurfacing. Its doing well in other countrys. Im a 36 year old male, was extremely active. Now id just say im active. I have moderately severe oa in both hips and think ceramic resurfacing will be a better option for me. Im so eager for this but feel like im left in the dark waiting. I feel ill bite the bullet soon and opt for a THR and just miss out on ceramic resurfacing 😢
@Lathamhipsurgery thank you sir, my next question and concern is how do I even go about getting this done or on the list. I truly believe I'd be a prime candidate (given my xrays says I am) I'm very disciplined and determined. I still try to train in the gym with limitations so therefore believe ill work well with the aftercare team and physios.
@@arronjoseph9200 There will be a few surgeons like me in the UK who will be able to use the ReCerf. It's unlikely that it will be available on the NHS for quite a while given the expense and limited data. If you are interested in having an assessment, please contact the office. The details are in the description.
Is BHR mom, which has been on the market since 1996, still the same as it is today? Or do you already hear updates on materials? The quality of the metal is the same. or evolved? I ask this because I don't see anything talking about it. In almost 30 years there has been no evolution?
The original Midland Medical Technology BHR was made by Mike Tuke at Finsbury Orthopaedics in Leatherhead. Smith and Nephew bought MMT in 2003 and acquired the BHR. S&N then manufactured the BHR in its own factory. Nothing has changed in terms of the alloy and bearing clearance. Finsbury became MatOrtho. It started making the Adept resurfacing in 2004. Many of us regard it as BHR 2.0. It is Mike Tuke’s design. It’s the same alloy and bearing but with better instruments to put it in. I started with BHR in 1998 but have used the Adept since 2004. It’s the only device that’s been made in the same factory since it was introduced. The results are excellent.

Good to hear you’ve done well with the H1. I haven’t heard anything about when/if it will be available for general use.
I was told probably early 2025.

Thanks for your comment. I'd be happy to look at the radiographs. Please send the images to the email address in the description.

The ReCerf is still on course for November/December. I’ll post a video when it’s confirmed.

@@Lathamhipsurgery Thank you very much for the answer 👍
Any idea if ceramic recerf squeaks?
All ceramic bearings squeak or rumble from time to time. Some people’s hips squeak on every step.
