Hip Resurfacing Surgery

Arthritis of the hip joint is a common problem among people over 50 years. It occurs due to traumatic injuries of hip joint, avascular necrosis, hip fractures, infection and other diseases. Traditionally, Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery has been the most popular and best treatment for people suffering with hip arthritis. Over the years a new surgical procedure called hip resurfacing has become a popular treatment alternative to total hip replacement surgery. In this procedure two metal pieces are used to support the hip joint; one is a cobalt-chrome metal cap which is fixed over the ball of the femur and the other into the acetabulum (pelvic socket). In hip resurfacing procedure only the diseased portion of the hip bone is remove and cleaned. Hip resurfacing is best suited for patients who are young and may undergo multiple surgeries over the course of their lifetime.
Orthopedic surgeons recommend hip resurfacing for its many advantages which include:

Maintenance of normal bone
Less risk of dislocation
Improved durability of hip
Easier revision
Improve functions and quick recovery
Anatomic sized bearing
Reduce osteolysis and early loosing risk of instruments

Special Requirements of Resurfacing Patients

Solid bone in femoral head to hold resurfacing component.
Your kidneys must be healthy to process any blood borne metal ions.
