Aims: There is a resurgence of interest in hip resurfacing. To date, our own unit has treated 60 patients (65 hips) with the Corin hip resurfacings. Between Jan 99 and July 02, 12 of these patients required early revision surgery. Methods: Retrospective study. Results: The indication for revision was fractured neck of femur in þve cases. 4 of the 5 fractured neck of femurs cases occurred within 6 months of the primary procedure. There were 4 cases of loose acetabular components and one case of progressive avascular necrosis. One patient required revision surgery for ongoing hip pain and one required a two stage revision for early deep infection. Conclusions: In the DGH environment, resurfacing may be associated with a high revision rate with a signiþcant learning curve.
