VerifiedCommon questions
Who is a candidate for hip resurfacing?
Candidates are typically younger, active patients with strong bone quality, most often men, because implant sizing and bone density affect results. Your surgeon will review imaging and bone health to advise you.
What is the difference between hip resurfacing and hip replacement?
Resurfacing caps the natural ball of the hip instead of removing it, preserving bone. Most resurfacing implants use metal-on-metal surfaces, which carries specific considerations your surgeon should explain.
Why choose resurfacing over replacement?
Preserved bone can make any future revision surgery more straightforward, and some active patients prefer it for that reason. It is not right for everyone, and many patients are better served by a standard hip replacement.
