About Hip Resurfacing

Hip resurfacing is a modern orthopedic surgical procedure designed to treat severe hip arthritis and damage while preserving more of the patient's natural bone compared to a total hip replacement. In this procedure, the orthopedic surgeon reshapes and caps the damaged femoral head (ball) with a smooth metal covering, rather than removing it entirely. The damaged cartilage in the hip socket (acetabulum) is also replaced with a metal cup. This bone-conserving approach is particularly beneficial for younger, more active patients, as it allows for a greater range of motion, a more natural feel, and potentially easier revision surgery in the future if needed. The goal is to relieve chronic pain, restore function, and return patients to an active lifestyle.

Key Highlights

Preserves more of the patient's natural bone structure compared to total hip replacement.Often recommended for younger, more active patients due to greater durability and range of motion.Allows for a more natural feeling hip joint and gait.Lower risk of dislocation compared to some total hip replacements.May facilitate easier future revision surgery if necessary.

Who is this surgery for?

Severe osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) of the hip causing significant pain and stiffness.
Avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis) where bone tissue in the femoral head dies due to lack of blood supply.
Hip dysplasia or other congenital abnormalities leading to premature joint wear.
Post-traumatic arthritis following a serious hip injury or fracture.
Patients who are relatively young (often under 60) and physically active.
Failure of non-surgical treatments like medication, physical therapy, or injections.

How to prepare

Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including blood tests, ECG, and imaging (X-rays, MRI).
Discuss all current medications with your surgeon; you may need to stop certain blood thinners.
Undergo a dental check-up to rule out infections that could spread to the new joint.
Stop smoking well in advance of surgery to improve healing and reduce complication risks.
Arrange for help at home and prepare your living space for easier mobility post-surgery.
Follow pre-operative fasting instructions as provided by your surgical team.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site or deep within the joint.
Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).
Nerve or blood vessel damage near the surgical area.
Fracture of the femoral neck during or after the procedure.
Allergic reaction or metal sensitivity to the implant materials.
Dislocation of the hip joint, though less common than with some replacements.
Implant loosening, wear, or failure over time, potentially requiring revision surgery.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay typically involves pain management, initial physical therapy, and learning to walk with assistive devices.
Weight-bearing is usually limited initially, progressing as guided by your physical therapist.
A structured physical therapy program is crucial for several weeks to restore strength, flexibility, and gait.
You must avoid high-impact activities (running, jumping) and certain hip positions (like crossing legs) for a period.
Attend all follow-up appointments for monitoring healing and implant function.
Full recovery and return to most low-impact activities can take 3 to 6 months, with continued improvement up to a year.

Typical hospital stay: 3-5 days
Expected recovery time: 3-6 months for full activity
