The Hip Resurfacing implants have been cleverly engineered to resurface the bone in the hip joint. The head of the femur is resurfaced with a metal dome, and the socket is resurfaced with a metal cap. There is no need for the bone to be cut and removed as in a standard hip replacement.

Metal on metal hip resurfacing has been shown to eliminate many of the current problems associated with total hip replacement. It is particularly relevant to young, active people, people who want to return to high level activities. There is a much lower rate of wear, and potentially much greater durability.
