Hip resurfacing has continued to gain traction as an alternative to hip replacement for arthritis. New information continues to come out. Surgeon Experience A panel discussion was held at the 3rd Annual Hip Resurfacing Forum in September 2006. The consensus was that experience was a major factor in the success of the procedure. The results are not nearly as favorable in a surgeon’s first 30 to 50 cases. The best statistical results start to appear after 300 procedures. Because hip resurfacing is much different that hip replacement general familiarity with hip surgery is not a substitute for direct experience with the resurfacing procedure. The learning curve is steep in acquiring the necessary skills which include patient selection, safe exposure, and component positioning and complication management. The incidence of femoral neck fracture, nerve injury, and component positioning difficulties are higher in a surgeon’s earlier cases. https://www.pritchettorthopedics.com/anterior-cruciate-ligament daily 0.75 2021-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6037e1d81e89230599b80895/1616023078917-2HDNOXHP5EJ3BYHFZ76W/anterior-cruciate-ligament-materials.jpg Anterior Cruciate Ligament https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6037e1d81e89230599b80895/1616023662303-05DE6M40G6CTTAK7GYKQ/knee_replacement_small.gif Anterior Cruciate Ligament https://www.pritchettorthopedics.com/venous-thromboembolism daily 0.75 2021-03-17 https://www.pritchettorthopedics.com/videos daily 0.75 2021-04-22 https://www.pritchettorthopedics.com/shoulder-resurfacing daily 0.75 2021-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6037e1d81e89230599b80895/1616081154084-PFA26WNO5ST1PMWZEKYF/shoulder_resurfacing_xray.jpg Shoulder Resurfacing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6037e1d81e89230599b80895/1616081016276-NXTG1KWYX6FELLT3GC4Y/shoulder_resurfacing_materials.jpg Shoulder Resurfacing
