What are the advantages of hip resurfacing surgery instead of hip replacement surgery?

The main advantage of Hip Resurfacing is that it is a "bone-conserving" procedure. In a traditional Total Hip Replacement (THR), the surgeon removes the entire head of the thigh bone (femur) and replaces it with a metal stem. In Resurfacing, the surgeon simply shaves (resurfaces) the damaged bone and caps it with a smooth metal covering, similar to capping a tooth. The Top 3 Advantages: More Bone is Preserved: Since the femoral head is kept, it is easier to perform a revision surgery later in life if needed. This makes it popular for younger patients (under 60). Higher Activity Levels: Resurfacing often allows for a more natural range of motion, making it better for patients who want to return to high-impact sports like running or martial arts. Lower Dislocation Risk: The ball size is larger (closer to your natural anatomy), so the risk of the hip popping out is lower compared to traditional replacement. The Catch: Not everyone is a candidate. If you have osteoporosis or significant bone damage, Resurfacing is not possible, and a Total Hip Replacement becomes the gold standard for pain relief. Cost & Doctor Availability: Resurfacing is a difficult surgery that requires highly specialized training. In countries like the US, it is rare and expensive. In India, however, expert orthopedists perform both Resurfacing and Total Hip Replacement at significantly lower costs.
