Hip Resurfacing
A hip resurfacing is a form of hip replacement which is generally reserved for younger and more active patients. This procedure differs from a traditional hip replacement in that more of the patient's hip bone is preserved and a metal cap is instead placed to 'resurface' the head of the hip. Patients interested in a resurfacing procedure are welcome to discuss their suitability for this surgery and how the functional outcomes may differ from a traditional hip replacement.
