About Hip Resurfacing (Birmingham)
Birmingham hip resurfacing caps the ball of the thigh bone with a metal shell and fits a matching metal cup. It is mainly offered to younger, active people with arthritis and strong bone.
The surgeon reshapes the head of the femur and covers it with a hollow metal cap, then places a metal cup in the socket, keeping more of your own bone than a standard hip replacement. It is done under spinal or general anaesthesia. Accurate positioning of both components is essential, and the surgeon's experience with this specific design matters.
Usually a good fit if
- Younger, active adults, mainly men under 60, with hip arthritis and healthy bone.
- Large femoral head and normal anatomy.
- Wish to return to higher activity levels.
- Normal kidney function.
May need to wait if
- Women or smaller-built patients, who have higher revision risk with this implant.
- Poor bone quality, osteoporosis or large femoral head cysts.
- Kidney disease or metal allergy.
- Hip dysplasia or deformity of the femoral head.
How to prepare
- Have X-rays and sometimes CT or MRI to check femoral head bone quality, size and cysts.
- Mention kidney disease, metal allergy and previous hip surgery, and ask about baseline kidney function tests.
- Review blood thinners and anti-inflammatories with your doctor; do not change them yourself.
- Practise using crutches and prepare raised seating at home.
- Plan clot prevention for the flight home and check fitness to fly.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Am I suitable for Birmingham resurfacing rather than a standard hip replacement?
- How many Birmingham resurfacings have you done?
- What does the registry show for this implant in patients like me?
- What follow-up blood tests and scans do I need?
- What are the risks of neck fracture, metal reaction or revision?
- Can follow-up be done at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Surgeon with limited resurfacing experience.
- Offering resurfacing to patients with poor bone or small frames without discussing risks.
