Hip resurfacing is an option for young and active patients with hip disease that allows for greater movement and reduced pain compared to traditional hip replacements. It involves reshaping the femoral head and inserting a metal cap, while cementing a metal socket in the pelvis. Hip resurfacing aims to give patients freedom of movement without pain and prevent future hip problems, while also providing an extended treatment option for young patients who may outlive a traditional hip replacement.
