Hip resurfacing
Hip Resurfacing Surgery
Hip resurfacing is a bone-preserving alternative to total hip replacement for young and active patients. Instead of removing the entire femoral head, I place a metal or ceramic cap over it while replacing the damaged acetabulum.
Benefits of hip resurfacing surgery include:
- Preserving more of your natural bone
- A more natural joint feel
- Better options if revision surgery is ever needed
- Potential for higher activity levels
