چکیده

The Birmingham Mid Head Resection (BMHR) arthroplasty can be used as an alternative to conventional stemmed total hip arthroplasty in young patients unsuitable for hip resurfacing. This study investigated the effect of stem size on femoral neck fracture in the BMHR. Sawbones composite femurs were randomly allocated to one of the following groups: 1) Unprepared femur with no prosthesis; 2) Femur prepared with a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing prosthesis (BHR); 3) Femur prepared with a BMHR stem size 1 stem (BHMR-1); 4) Femur prepared with a BMHR stem size 3 stem (BHMR-3). Each femur was subjected to a compressive force using a materials testing machine until fracture of the femoral neck occurred. The highest force at fracture was in the unprepared femurs with a mean (± standard deviation) force at failure of 5.9 ± 0.2 kN. The mean force at failure for the femurs fitted with a prosthesis was 2.6 ± 0.4 kN, 3.0 ± 0.4 kN and 3.5 ± 0.5 kN, for the BHR, BMHR1 and BMHR-3, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that the failure force for the unprepared femur was significantly (p<0.05) greater than that of the BHR, BMHR-1 and BMHR-3. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) between the force at failure for the BMHR-1 and BMHR-3, indicating that these two stem sizes have an effect on fracture force.

A clinicoradiologic study of the Birmingham Mid-Head Resection device.

This is a 1.2- to 5.3-year survival and clinicoradiologic study of patients with the Birmingham Mid-Head Resection (BMHR) device (Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics, Warwick, United Kingdom). Sixty consecutive hips implanted with this device between 2003 and 2007 were reviewed with hip outcome questionnaires, clinical examination, and radiographs at a minimum follow-up of 1 year. There were no revisio...

The Effect of Femoral Neck Notching with the Birmingham Mid-Head Resection

The new generation of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to total hip replacement in the younger and more active patient. Mid-term survivorship figures for osteoarthritic patients are comparable to that of patients receiving a total hip arthroplasty. However, individuals receiving a hip resurfacing for aetiologies other than OA, such as avascular necr...

Long-term Outcomes after Primary Radial Head Resection Arthroplasty vs. Acute Radial Head Resection vs. Secondary Prosthetic Removal in Comminuted Radial Head Fractures

Background: Aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiological long-term outcomes following operativetreatment of comminuted radial head fractures using 1) primary radial head resection arthroplasty, 2) acute radial headresection, or 3) necessary secondary prosthetic removal. Additionally, we evaluated complex radial head fracturescombined with elbow dislocation and verified the hyp...

Birmingham Mid-Head Resection Periprosthetic Fracture

Total hip arthroplasty in the young leads to difficult choices in implant selection. Until recently bone conserving options were not available for younger patients with deficient femoral head bone stock. The novel Birmingham Mid-Head Resection (BMHR) device offers the option of bone conserving arthroplasty in spite of deficient femoral head bone stock. Femoral neck fracture is a known complicat...
