Hip Resurfacing arthroplasty is an alternative to total hip replacement in individuals with end-stage articular cartilage degeneration and who have good bone quality. They must have minimal bone loss in their hip joints with a structural intact joint surface.
The big advantage of hip resurfacing is preservation of bone-stock and limit the risk of early hip dislocation with better range of motion than what a traditional hip replacement offers.
