Birmingham Mid Head Resection (BMHR) Surgery Options
Birmingham mid head resection is an alternative procedure for those people who do not qualify for Hip Resurfacing. For example, people having serious femoral head deformity or inadequate bone quality, are not suitable for a BHR. Rather than opting for a total hip replacement, patients in this condition have another bone conserving alternative which is the Birmingham Mid Head Resection. Apart from conserving the bone of the patient, those who successfully undertook the BMHR surgery will return to an active lifestyle. Dr. Derek McMinn invented the BMHR.
During the BMHR operation, the upper portion of the femoral head is opened, and any region of diseased or necrotic bone is removed. Then a conical cavity is cut, and the stem is tapped into place. The stem is then fitted with a large diameter modular head. It matches the patients’ own anatomy closely. The same acetabular cup which is used for a BHR is used for fitting the femoral head component. Scientific tests have shown that the physiological loading of the native femur is replicated by the conical design of the stem, and this prevents stress shielding bone loss in the long term. The BMHR is developed after the success of the BHR. It gives the same advantages of the Hip Resurfacing. The advantages are natural movements without dislocation and you will be able to return to your active lifestyle.
