Hip resurfacing is a bone conserving alternative to conventional total hip replacement. Unlike THR, hip resurfacing does not involve the removal of the femoral head and neck nor removal of bone from the femur. The current generation of hip resurfacing devices utilize a metal-metal bearing rather than the metal-polyethylene bearings that were utilized in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Metal-metal bearings have demonstrated a much higher level of wear resistance as well as reduced bone loss and inflammatory tissue reaction about the hip joint as compared to metal-polyethylene bearings.
Hip resurfacing is more similar to the natural hip joint resulting in increased stability, flexibility and range of motion. Further, dislocation risk is minimal. Higher activity levels are achieved these benefits are realized because the head diameter that results from resurfacing is very similar to the patient’s normal head diameter and these larger head sizes are much larger than the femoral balls utilized in conventional THR.
