Hip Resurfacing is a type of hip replacement which replaces the two surfaces of the hip joint.

The procedure is very bone conserving as the head of the femur is retained. Instead of removing the head completely, it is shaped to accept a metal sphere.

The surface of the acetabulum (the socket) is replaced with a metal implant, which is fitted directly into the bone without cement.

There is no large stem to go down the central part of the femur as with a total hip replacement. This therefore gives us ‘two bites at the cherry’ in younger individuals who may require more than one hip replacement in their lifetime- without losing much of their own bone. More.......
