Minimum five-year outcomes of birmingham hip resurfacing: Propensity-score matched against total hip arthroplasty control groups
Journal of Arthroplasty Feb 16, 2021
Domb BG, Bheem R, Monahan PF, et al. - This study was undertaken to explore clinical outcomes of patients undergoing Birmingham hip resurfacing (BHR) with a minimum 5-year follow-up and compare these outcomes to 2 matched control groups of patients undergoing either direct anterior approach (DAA) or posterior approach (PA) total hip arthroplasty (THA). Researchers retrospectively examined data between September 2008 and April 2015. Researchers propensity-score matched 50 BHR patients to 2 control groups: 50 cases of PA THA and 50 cases of DAA THA. This study’s findings revealed that BHR yielded good functional status and outcomes, which compared favorably with control groups of DAA THA and PA THA. The data considered that the decision-making should be based upon other factors such as potential risk factors, the surgeon’s and patient’s preferences, and the patient’s physical demand.
