Specific Issues in Hip Surgery for Younger Patients “Minimally Invasive Surgery” Resurfacing Operations Bearing Surfaces

M.I.S. Surgery Marketing rather than a scientific term Effort to perform joint surgery through smaller incisions –Goal of speeding patient recovery

My Advice – Proceed with Caution You’re in this for the 20 year rather than the 20 day outcome –Very subtle differences in artificial hip and knee alignment have a big impact in how long they last –Scientific studies of MIS surgery have shown less predictable alignment than standard surgery –Equal or greater damage to underlying muscles –Computer assistance may erase this difference

Resurfacing Operations vs

Resurfacing Potential Benefits –More normal loading of the femur bone –Less bone resected –Easier revision surgery –Less dislocation Reasonable option if no deformity present

Bearing Surfaces Total hips are mechanical ball in socket joints –Wear debris leads to losening and failure

Joint Replacements Important points to remember -Joint replacements (arthroplasty) treat arthritis well -Not a predictable treatment for weakness or motion
