There is a new technique called Birmingham Hip Resurfacing available at Matilda International Hospital (BHR) which is especially good for younger (under 60) active people. The problem with a conventional hip replacement being the lifespan of the new hip. The BHR uses metal on metal hips and leaves a lot of the bone in place making it easier should a total replacement be needed in later life.It also gives a better range of movement due to the mechanics but is not suitable for all and it depends on the amount of oseoporosis involved.
If you would like more information please feel free to give me a call and I can send over some more information.
