Hip Resurfacing

Total Hip Replacement

A total hip replacement is an operation that involves removing the femoral head (ball) and acetabulum (socket) and replacing it with artificial joint. This joint is typically made of metal, plastic or ceramic between 2 metal surfaces. A total hip replacement is indicated for conditions such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, fracture and other hip conditions

Hip replacement technology has evolved significantly over the years and your surgery may involve the use of newer technologies such as robotics, contemporary approaches and enhanced recovery protocols.

A hip replacement is generally a very successful and life changing operation but as with any major surgery there are risks with surgery and anaesthetic and I will discuss the risks and benefits further with you at the time of consultation.

Hip Resurfacing

A hip resurfacing is a hip replacement that preserves most of the femoral neck and head. The femoral head is resurfaced rather than replaced and resurfacing may be more suitable in a specific subset of patients compared to hip replacement.
