Understanding total hip resurfacing
Hip resurfacing caps the femoral head with a smooth metal surface instead of removing it — preserving more natural bone.
Best suited for active patients under 60 with strong bone, resurfacing maintains the natural hip biomechanics, allows return to high-impact activity and makes future revision surgery easier.
