Hueter-anterior approach for metal on metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty: 555 cases at a minimum five-year followup
Journal of Arthroplasty Apr 29, 2021
Suraci A, Bhullar RS, Dobransky J, et al. - This study was carried out to ascertain implant survivorship and resultant outcomes, including modes of failure, for metal on metal hip resurfacing (MMHR) through the Hueter-Anterior Approach (HAA). Between 2006 and 2015, researchers conducted a retrospective review of cases, resulting in 555 MMHR via HAA, mean age 49.4±6.9 years, and mean BMI 28.1±5.3. Implant survivorship was evaluated by using Kaplan-Meier curves. This study has shown that HAA is safe and effective for hip resurfacing, although the choice of surgical approach should always be based on the surgeon’s technical expertise. As per the findings, mindful attention to long-term metal ion exposure must still be considered.
