Mid and South Essex ICB commissions Hip Resurfacing in line with NICE TA 304.
The ICB will only fund prostheses for resurfacing arthroplasty for people with end-stage arthritis of the hip if the prostheses have rates (or projected rates) of revision of 5% or less at 10 years.
Funding for prostheses not meeting the above criteria will only be granted in clinically exceptional circumstances.
Individual funding requests should only be made where the patient demonstrates clinical exceptionality.
