    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of biomechanical reconstruction of the hip in metal-on-metal total hip resurfacing. METHODS: Thirty patients undergoing hip resurfacing arthroplasties were enrolled in this study. The clinical outcomes of the patients were assessed according to the Harris Hip Score before and after the surgery, X-ray examinations and biomechanical reconstruction evaluations. RESULTS: After the operation, the length of the patients' legs was shortened by a mean of 2.4 mm. and the femoral offset was decreased by a mean of 5.45 mm. No dislocation were be found in these patients. The preoperative Harris Hip Score was 36.69-/+7.16, significantly lower than that postoperative score (89.63-/+3.36, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Precise biomechanical reconstruction of the hip can be achieved in hip resurfacing arthroplasty, and the stability and functional restoration is guaranteed by large diameter prosthesis design.
