Hi, I have a Birmingham hip resurface that has caused me problems since it was implanted 14 years ago but have never managed to convince my surgeon to take it out. Just recently I had a different surgeon look at my xrays to which he reported acetabular cysts & cyst formation around screws of the dysplasia cup, that could possibly be causing loosening of the cup, I have attached a picture of xrays to ask for advice of what can be seen on these. There is clear radiolucency around the cup & stem & different bone formation around the screw tips & now a gap between the 2 screws, I personally think it is loose but the surgeon has said it seems there is no clear loosening..? I’m in so much pain & just want this hip out.
