Hip resurfacing

A bone-preserving solution for hip pain

Hip resurfacing is a surgical procedure designed to relieve hip pain and improve mobility by preserving more of your natural bone. During hip resurfacing, the damaged surface of the hip joint is smoothed and covered with a durable metal cap, similar to placing a crown on a tooth. This allows the bones in the hip to move smoothly against each other again, reducing pain and enhancing ease of movement.

Unlike a full hip replacement, where the entire hip joint is replaced, hip resurfacing retains more of the original bone structure, making it a popular option for younger, active individuals who want to maintain their active lifestyles while finding relief from hip pain.

For those seeking a long-lasting solution with minimal bone loss, hip resurfacing can be an excellent alternative to a full hip replacement.
