BMHR (Birmingham Mid-Head Resection) is a metal-on-metal hip implant that takes away the upper part of the ball and uses a short stem through the femoral neck, sitting between resurfacing and a full hip replacement.

In a BMHR the upper part of the femoral head is taken out and a short stem is passed through the femoral neck, with a metal head moving in a metal cup in the socket.

It has been used in younger people with poor bone in the upper head, for example after loss of blood supply (avascular necrosis) or bone cysts, where standard resurfacing is unsuitable.

UK MHRA guidance on metal-on-metal hips advises regular review, imaging and metal ion blood tests, and while its 2015 alert names the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing system, similar follow-up is typically applied to related implants.

Pain, limping or swelling around the hip should be reported promptly.

Flying home: aviation guidance sets no single wait for bone and joint operations, but leg surgery makes clots on long flights more likely, so ask how to prevent them; UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance suggests 24 to 48 hours after a plaster cast.
