Hip Resurfacing

Published results showed navigation-assisted hip resurfacing may yield enhanced acetabular cup positioning and positive 2-year patient-reported outcomes for patients with hip osteoarthritis.

Exactech, a minority shareholder of JointMedica Limited, has announced FDA breakthrough device designation for JointMedica’s Polymotion hip resurfacing system, according to an Exactech press release.

Compared with the inpatient procedure, same-day discharge hip resurfacing arthroplasty has similar infection rates, periprosthetic fractures, ED visits and readmissions with shorter hospital stays, according to study results.
