Treatment. Hip Resurfacing. Patients with advanced arthritis of the hip may be candidates for either traditional total hip replacement (arthroplasty) or hip resurfacing (hip resurfacing arthroplasty). Each of these procedures is a type of hip replacement, but there are important differences.
When a joint is replaced, the unhealthy or damaged bone is removed and replaced with man-made parts called a prosthesis. A Total Hip Replacement consists of two parts: A metal ball and stem fit into the thigh bone. The metal socket and plastic cup liner fit into the socket in the pelvis. Total Hip Replacement.
Hip Resurfacing arthroplasty is intended for patients with failure of the hip joint who are likely to outlive or outperform a traditional total hip replacement (THR).
The purpose of hip hemiarthroplasty, THA, and hip resurfacing is to reduce pain, restore function and correct deformity by improving the biomechanics of the hip joint. This is done by replacing the damaged joint with a prosthetic implant, realigning the soft tissues, and eliminating structural and functional deficits.
