Blarney: Metal Resurfacing Way to Go-Dr. G Russell Huffman, M.D., MPH.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the indications for metal resurfacing in young patients with end-stage degenerative conditions. They argue that the current outcomes measures for arthroplasty patients, particularly young and active ones, are inadequate. The speaker presents case studies of patients who have had successful metal resurfacing surgeries and highlights the importance of pain reduction, functional improvement, and reproducible surgeries. They also touch on other treatment options such as interposition arthroplasty and total shoulder arthroplasty. The speaker concludes that metal resurfacing and hemiarthroplasty are effective options for these patients.
