BHR-Birmingham Hip Resurfacing Surgery Abroad
Surface Arthroplasty of Hip (Birmingham Hip / ASR)

Hip Resurfacing Surgery (BHR Surgery) has come as a boon for younger patients, resulting in very little bone loss and almost normal unrestricted movements and functions following this procedure. This can also be done in relatively older patients (up to 65 years) if bone stock is good and there are no other contraindications to Surface Arthroplasty of Hip.....

You must discuss your suitability for hip resurfacing with an orthopedic surgeon....
BHR vs THR
BHR (Birmingham hip resurfacing) is a bone-conserving implant that removes only the unhealthy bone and replaces it with a metal on metal articulation. Conventional THR (total hip replacement), on the other hand, sacrifices a large quantity of normal bone.
BHR uses metal on metal hip joints which are significantly more wear resistant than the traditional metal on plastic hip joints used in THR...
The femoral head in BHR closely matches the size of natural femoral head. This leads to greater stability in the new joint and reduced chances of dislocation of the implant after surgery...
