Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR)

Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) is a surgical procedure for hip joint issues, often performed on active or younger patients. Instead of removing the entire joint, it reshapes and caps the existing bones — the head of the thighbone and the hip socket — with metal components. This preserves more natural bone compared to traditional hip replacements, allowing for easier future revisions and better joint function. The procedure aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and extend the lifespan of the hip joint, providing a durable and functional solution for suitable candidates.
