Hip Resurfacing Surgery (BHR Surgery) has come as a boon for younger patients, resulting in very little bone loss and almost normal unrestricted movements and functions following this procedure.
Hip resurfacing is a surgical procedure (a form of arthroplasty) which has been developed as an intervention alternative to total hip replacement (THR). The potential advantages of hip resurfacing include less bone removal (bone preservation), a potentially lower number of hip dislocations due to a relatively larger femoral head size, and possibly easier revision surgery for a subsequent total hip replacement device because a surgeon will have more bone stock available to work with. The potential disadvantages of hip resurfacing are femoral neck fractures (rate of 0-4%), aseptic loosening, and metal wear.

If you are suffering from hip arthritis you may prefer a hip resurfacing to a hip replacement. In this modern alternative to hip replacement, only the worn out surfaces of the hip joint are replaced.
Hip Resurfacing is a bone preserving operation as most of the head and neck portion of the top end of the femur bone is retained. The head and neck portion of the femur bone is sculpted to a cylindrical stump and not chopped off. A metal ball like cap is fixed with cement over this cylindrical stump. On the socket side also, the worn out lining is scraped out and a metal implant or shell is impacted. Conversion to a hip replacement after resurfacing is easy as most bone is preserved.
The surface components are made of metal, either Metasul or Cobalt chrome. The outer side of the socket is lined with either a porous metal or hydroxyapatite coating. The components match the normal size of the natural bone and are of larger.
