Birmingham Hip Resurfacing - Literature Review

Indication for Use

   
The BIRMINGHAM HIP Resurfacing (BHR) System is a single use device intended for hybrid fixation: cemented femoral head component and cementless acetabular component. The BHR system is intended for use in patients requiring primary hip resurfacing arthroplasty due to:
  • Non-inflammatory arthritis (degenerative joint disease) such as osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, or dysplasia/DDH, or

  • Inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis.

The BHR System is intended for patients who, due to their relatively younger age or increased activity level, may not be suitable for traditional total hip arthroplasty due to an increased possibility of requiring future ipsilateral hip joint revision.
