Executive Summary
Industry estimates that 6,500 hip resurfacing procedures will be performed in the UK in 2003, rising to 8,000 in 2004, have gained greater credence, following a Corin Group survey of developments in this sector. The results appear to confirm estimates that hip resurfacing will increase to 10% of all hip replacement referrals, as predicted by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), says the Cirencester (Gloucestershire), UK manufacturer of orthopaedic devices.
