What is the long-term survivorship, complication profile, and patient reported outcomes after Birmingham hip resurfacing?
Review in Journal of orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: When indicated, Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) presents a viable alternative to total hip arthroplasty (THA), but there remain questions about the long-term outcomes of BHR. Therefore, we asked: 1) what are the long-term patient-reported outcomes and 2) survivorship rates following BHR; 3) what are the causes for revision surgery after BHR? and 4) how have these outcomes compared to THA at long-term follow-up. Methods: A query of PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane in September 2023 was performed. Articles were included if they reported BHR survivorship rates at ≥10 years. Survivorship was defined as an all-cause revision of any BHR component. This review encompasses 26 articles, totaling 13,103 hips. Mean follow-up ranged from 6.0 to 20.9 years, but each study had at least a subgroup analysis for ≥10-year follow-up. Results: Five studies compared preoperative and postoperative PROs for BHR, with four reporting improvement in at least one PRO after 10-year follow-up. Overall, survivorship rates ranged from 83% to 100% across diverse long-term timeframes, with 25 of 26 studies reporting 10-year survivorship rates greater than 87%. The primary reasons for revisions were implant loosening (22%), adverse reactions to metal debris (21.2%), and fractures of any kind (17.2%). In the six studies that compared BHR to THA, long-term survivorship was similar while BHR exhibited slightly superior activity levels. Conclusion: The findings from this study suggested favorable long-term survivorship and postoperative outcomes of BHR. In studies comparing long-term BHR and THA, survivorship was comparable, with BHR potentially providing enhanced postoperative activity levels.
