BIRMINGHAM HIP
RESURFACING
COMPREHENSIVE
BREAST CLINIC
Hip replacement without the
replacement Absolutely!
In people with arthritis, bones
of the hip joint become rough
and worn and they rub together
causing pain, swelling and
stiffness. Birmingham Hip
Resurfacing (BHR) is a surgical
procedure which shields these
worn surfaces in the joint using
a metal cap and socket.
Unlike traditional hip replacement surgery, Birmingham Hip Resurfacing
does not remove as much hip bone. Instead, the process simply buffs
away the rough damaged surface of the hip joint bones and replaces them
with more durable high carbide cobalt chrome.
BHR is significantly less invasive than total hip joint replacement surgery
allowing you to return to your normal routine sooner.
Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital pioneered BHR in Michigan and is now one of
the leading hospitals in the nation for this procedure.
For an appointment with a Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital physician
trained in BHR, please call 1-888-DMC-2500 or visit www.hvsh.org.
