Hip Resurfacing Surgery (HRS)
In contrast to the Western population, hip arthritis affects young patients in India/Asia. As a result, bone preservation becomes critical. The BHR (Birmingham Hip Resurfacing) and BMHR (Birmingham Mid Head Resection) prostheses are designed primarily for younger, more active patients.
This is a more bone-saving procedure. This method consists of removing only the injured bone surface and capping it with a metal head. As a result, unlike normal hip replacements, the head and neck of the femur are not removed. Also, because this treatment just covers the surface of the head, the effective size of the ball is approximately identical to that of a regular head.

The following are some of the potential benefits of this design:
- Better range of movement.
- Decreased incidence of dislocation.
- If and when it fails, the revision would be easier since the bone of the upper femur is retained.
However, on the other side there is not enough long-term data ascompared to the quality hip replacements.. The longest follow-ups reported are fair about a decade, in contrast to 20-25 years follow-up data obtainable for the standard hip replacement.Conjointly this procedure isn’t appropriate for all cases and correct case choice is mandatory.
BHR- Birmingham Hip Resurfacing
Birmingham Hip Resurfacing has been contemplate breakthrough medical technique, particularly for younger active
individuals with arthritis. As it results in very little bone loss,it permits your joints unrestricted movements
therefore you’ll still pursue your extremely active career with full vigor.The success rate of BHR is over 99% Birmingham Hip Resurfacing was performed for the FIRST TIME in India within the year 2000 by Dr. Vijay C. Bose in Chennai.
What is BHR?
BHR is primarily supposed for individuals beneath the age of 55 who need of a hip replacement. In Birmingham Hip Resurfacing an awfully few part of bone on the top of thethighbone is resurfaced. A metal head is mounted on the femur. It fits into a metal socket placed within the joint. The age between 55 and 65 whoare very active and otherwise works may additionally be appropriate anesthetist this can be determined by their bone quality and activity level.
The BHR Advantage
A’metal on plastic’ bearing is almost often used in traditional Total Hip Replacements (THR). These are reasonably successful old people who are not relatively active, but they have intolerably terrible long-term outcomes for young, active patients who have ineluctable multiple revision surgeries and problems. To avoid the hapless flow of events that Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) was developed.When you examine Birmingham’s 35-year history of metal-on-metal articulation, you can confidently conclude it lasts forever.
BMHR
AOI has expertise of over 2000 BHR/BMHR procedures that makes it the biggest volume centre in Asia. Additionally, the centre has the biggest expertise of this procedure for avascular necrosis of hip within the world.Largest expertise of bone conservation surgery within the hip in Asia (BHR) / (BMHR)
