Understanding Hip Resurfacing
Hip resurfacing is an innovative alternative to traditional hip replacement that preserves more of your natural bone. Instead of removing the femoral head, we cap it with a smooth metal covering while replacing the damaged socket. This bone-conserving approach offers several advantages for active patients, including enhanced stability, improved range of motion, and the potential for future revision options if needed.
Common Causes
Return to Your Active Life
Hip resurfacing is designed for patients who refuse to let arthritis slow them down—preserving your natural anatomy while restoring pain-free performance.
Athletic Performance
Return to running, cycling, tennis, and other high-impact activities with confidence and stability.
Bone Preservation
Maintain your natural bone structure for better long-term outcomes and future treatment options.
Natural Movement
Experience more natural hip mechanics and improved range of motion compared to traditional replacement.
Preparing for Hip Resurfacing
Proper preparation ensures optimal results and faster return to activities.
