Hip resurfacing is a surgical procedure where the damaged or worn-out articular surface of the hip bone (femoral head) is replaced with a smooth metal cap. This treatment preserves the natural bone structure and provides an alternative to total hip replacement for younger patients with osteoarthritis. The metal cap is attached to the femur using a strong bond, allowing for more natural joint movement and potentially longer implant life.
