Despite the increasing interest and subsequent published literature on hip resurfacing arthroplasty, little is known about the prevalence of its complications and in particular the less common modes of failure. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of failure of hip resurfacing arthroplasty and to analyse the reasons for it. From a multi-surgeon series (141 surgeons) of 5000

Introduction. In the early 2000s hip resurfacing became an established bone conserving hip arthroplasty option particularly for the fit and active patient cohort. The performance of second-generation metal-on-metal bearings had led to the reintroduction of hip resurfacing. The

Introduction: Femoral neck failure due to avascular necrosis (AVN) is one of the most significant complications following resurfacing hip arthroplasty. It is likely that the surgical approach is one of the factors influenc-ing the development of AVN. Positron emission tomography (PET) is the only form of imaging that allows visualisation of bone metabolic activity deep to a metal surface. Objectives: To establish the reliability and accuracy of PET using fluorine-18 to evaluate viability of the femoral head and neck after resurfacing hip arthroplasty. To assess the viability of ten proximal femora after

Hip resurfacing is being performed more frequently in the United Kingdom. The possible benefits include more accurate restoration of leg length, femoral offset and femoral anteversion than occurs after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
