Hip resurfacing is a surgical procedure where the damaged surface of the hip joint is reshaped and covered with a metal cap. It is an alternative to total hip replacement for younger, active individuals. The goal is to alleviate pain, improve function, and maintain a higher level of activity. Recovery involves rehabilitation and physical therapy. Hip resurfacing may not be suitable for everyone, and consultation with an orthopedic surgeon is necessary to determine eligibility. Potential risks include infection, blood clots, implant failure, and adverse reactions.
