REMINDER: BIRMINGHAM HIP(TM) Resurfacing
Live From Hartford Hospital November 17, 2008 6:00 PM EST
More than 70,000 people across the world with
osteoarthritis have undergone a hip resurfacing procedure with the
BIRMINGHAM HIP(TM) resurfacing system. Using a specialized instrument, the
surgeon will remove the damaged surface of the socket to tightly support a
highly polished metal cup. The femur is similarly prepared for a polished
metal cap, preserving much of the original bone. The surgeon inserts the
metal cap into place and repositions the femur into the socket, yielding a
metal-on-metal functional hip surface.
Living with osteoarthritis pain every day can make simple activities
unbearable for some people. Durgesh G. Nagarkatti, MD states, "They find it
difficult to sit in a low chair, have difficulty getting up from a seated
position, they are unable to cross their legs, they are unable to bend
down, turn their legs, and shave their legs if need be."
Watch as Drs. Durgesh Nagarkatti, Jeffrey Burns, and Mark Shekhman bring
you this procedure in a live Internet broadcast, on Monday, November 17,
2008 at 6 pm EST from Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut.
