ABSTRACT Adverse reaction to metal debris (ARMD) represents a recently recognised mode of failure of metal-on-metal (MoM) hip resurfacings (HRs) and total hip replacements (THRs). ARMD often requires revision surgery which can have poor outcomes, therefore questioning the future role of MoM hip bearings. The 14-year survival of 447 HRs implanted by a designing surgeon was 94.1% (95% CI 84.9%-97.3%) with the best outcomes in males with primary osteoarthritis. The 8-year survival of 578 MoM THRs was 88.9% (95% CI 78.5%-93.4%) with 44% (17 of 39) of revisions performed for ARMD. A systematic review identified six studies reporting short-term outcomes following 216 ARMD revisions with variable complication (4%-68%) and re-revision (3%-38%) rates.

  • What Is Hip Resurfacing?
    What is Hip Resurfacing? When the cartilage covering the weight-bearing areas of the hip joint is lost in osteoarthritis, the resultant rubbing of bone on bone produces pain, stiffness and limp. Figure 1: Femoral Head and Neck Removed at Total Hip Replacement showing Area of Cartilage Loss Fig 1 shows this cartilage loss in a fairly small area of the head of the femur. It begs the question why Total Hip Replacement (THR), the accepted treatment for this condition, is so radical, involving as it does, removal of the femoral head and neck, insertion of a metal stem down the upper femur and insertion of a prosthetic cup into the socket as shown in Fig 2. Figure 2: Osteoarthritic Hip Pre and Post Op with Conventional Uncemented Total Hip Replacement Professor Sir John Charnley attempted treatment of the arthritic hip in the 1950’s with hip resurfacing, where only the cartilage of the femoral head and socket were replaced with thin layers of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). These implants unfortunately failed within months, Charnley thinking that the culprit was death of the femoral head as a result of interrupting its blood supply. He therefore moved on to a THR using PTFE cups paired with metal stemmed femoral components. Initially these were successful, and he carried out some 300 procedures. The initial success was not maintained, and at 2 years the implants started to fail with osteolysis [bone loss associated with the debris caused by wear]. Most of these patients needed further revision surgery, very distressing for them and their surgeon alike.

Building upon that history of medical excellence, Jim Justice, Chairman and owner of the Greenbrier Resort, has announced the creation of the Greenbrier Medical Institute. The institute’s 1st phase is projected to cost about $250 million, employ more than 500 people and include 3 buildings. This phase will include an expansion of our world renowned executive health and wellness practice, The Greenbrier Clinic, which will be bolstered by a world-class sports medicine program, including an orthopedic surgery center and athletic performance/rehabilitation facility, all led by the Founder of the American Sports Medicine Institute, Dr. Jim Andrews and Chair of Cleveland Clinic Innovations, Thomas Graham. Rounding out the Institute’s services will be a first-in-class plastic and cosmetic surgery and Lifestyle Enhancement Academy, helping people look and feel their best. Physicians, universities, research foundations, medical journals and other healthcare industry leaders, all of whom are on the cutting edge of medical technology, research and care, have committed to join the project and establish an international research and education destination or “think tank” to stimulate research, drive innovation, force change and redefine how the world approaches health, wellness and longevity.

However it remains an imperfect procedure due in many respects to the difficulty in reproducing biomechanics for each individual patient. Reproduction of femoral offset and leg length ensures appropriate muscle balancing which allows for hip biomechanics to be restored. In addition adequate soft tissue balancing reduces the risk of complications such as dislocations and nerve injuries. Post- operative functional performance may also be affected by the implant technology being used as well as surgical accuracy.
