Current Status of Conserve® Plus Hip Resurfacing Information for Patients and Others
نویسنده
چکیده
In the past 3 years, the report of numerous adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) has raised doubts over the benefits of metal-on-metal (M/M) implants used for Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty (HRA) and total hip replacement (THR). The recall of ASR resurfacing device (manufactured by DePuy) and its Big Femoral Head THR system using the same socket has resulted in unprecedented and grossly unbalanced reporting in a media blitz from the New York Times and has led to intense legal litigation, bringing intense scrutiny to all M/M devices. Anxiety has grown among patients and surgeons despite the fact that the vast majority of M/M devices are functioning well with up to 15 years of follow-up.

A comparison of total hip resurfacing and total hip arthroplasty - patients and outcomes.
A comparison of pertinent preoperative and postoperative data relative to total hip resurfacing versus total hip arthroplasty (THA) would assist in evaluating current perceptions in outcome. We compared 50 consecutive metal-metal resurfacing replacements in 50 patients with 44 consecutive conventional total hip arthroplasties in 35 patients, who were implanted during the same time period, by th...
متن کاملExcellent short-term results of hip resurfacing in a selected population of young patients.
BACKGROUND Hip resurfacing (HR) is an alternative option to total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a population of selected patients (young and/or active). HYPOTHESIS The short-term survivorship rate is as least as good as that for THA with no abnormal increase in serum metal ion levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS A continuous prospective series of 502 hip resurfacings in 481 patients mean age 48.7 yea...
