Hip Resurfacing

Improve your mobility and eliminate the possibility of a hip dislocation.

Hip joint resurfacing sounds drastic, but think of it like resurfacing your kitchen cabinets. It preserves rather than replaces the original element – in this case, the natural femoral head in your hip. If you have been experiencing hip problems, hip joint resurfacing can help prevent a full-on hip dislocation. 

Because hip joint resurfacing has a slightly higher failure rate and is more difficult to perform, the procedure is generally not appropriate for older patients who are best served by a total hip replacement. However, younger patients may have great success with a hip joint resurfacing procedure.  

The surgeons at Orthopedics International bring decades of experience in hip resurfacing procedures, and can expertly guide you in the right direction.
