Hip Resurfacing Surgery Treatment

Depending upon different factors and conditions damage to the hip bones can be treated by both surgical and non-surgical techniques. Any hip surgery is the last option possible option after non-surgical procedure. Even within the surgical procedure hip resurfacing has been developed as an alternative to total hip replacement. In the hip resurfacing surgery (total operational procedure time usually takes a few hours) damaged hip tissues and bones are resurfaced and replaced by implants

These implants ease the pain associated with hip and stiffness encompassing it allowing a more fluid movement and flexibility. The hip resurfacing procedure may or may not lead to extra bone forming around the hip region, leading to heterotopic ossification that is why men younger than 60 are the best candidates for hip resurfacing surgical procedure. Note: a consultation with your orthopaedic surgeon is advised before going ahead
