Hip Resurfacing

What is Hip Resurfacing?

Hip Resurfacing Surgery is a specialized procedure designed to treat hip conditions by preserving more of the patient's natural hip bone compared to traditional hip replacement. In this surgery, the damaged surface of the hip joint is capped with a metal covering, allowing for smoother movement and reduced pain.

Who Benefits from Hip Resurfacing Surgery? Hip Resurfacing Surgery is often recommended for individuals who:

  • Experience hip pain due to conditions like osteoarthritis.

  • Seek an alternative to traditional hip replacement, especially for younger, active patients.

  • Want to preserve more of their natural hip bone for potential future procedures.
