If you are suitable for hip resurfacing it is an excellent option for you. Resurfacing not only conserves bone but also has less restrictions than smaller head total hip replacements.

Are there alternates for hip replacement?
One alternative to a traditional total hip replacement is Hip Resurfacing. The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) was pioneered in 1997 by Derek McMinn. The BHR currently has success rates as high as 97% after 13 years which is incredible compared to the statistics of total hip replacements.The BHR works by resurfacing the Femoral head and fitting a metal, not plastic as used in Total Hip Replacements, acetabular component (socket). This Metal on Metal implant has significantly lower wear than Metal on Plastic which is so commonly used.It is a bone conserving surgical procedure, which means in the future should a patient require revision surgery this is much easier than if the original procedure was a total hip replacement. There is no reason why patients should wait until they hit 60-65 before having a total hip replacement - if the hip is giving you pain and discomfort then resurfacing could be you. Many local doctors and GPs will tell you to sit tight and wait until you are a suitable patient for a total hip replacement. The BHR has FDA approval in the US and has over 13 years of analysed data showing high success rates!The BHR is ideal for young active patients, who wish to get back to their previous active lifestyle. See the McMinn Centre website for more details!
