For younger, active people with chronic hip pain, hip resurfacing offers a promising, bone-preserving alternative to more extensive hip replacement.

Reasons for Hip Resurfacing Surgery at Dignity Health Central Coast

Orthopedic surgeons at Dignity Health Central Coast commonly recommend a hip resurfacing procedure if you are young, active, and have strong bones and a larger frame. Unlike hip replacement, which removes the ball of the thighbone, hip resurfacing means trimming, shaping, and capping it with man-made materials.

Hip resurfacing may help your hip pain if the cause is inflammatory or traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, dysplasia, or osteonecrosis.

 

What to Expect with Hip Resurfacing

During hip resurfacing, your orthopedic surgeon will make an incision in your hip and thigh. You are asleep throughout the entire procedure and can expect to spend up to four days in the hospital.

Physical therapy will help you heal, strengthen your hip, and improve your movement. For several weeks after surgery, you will use crutches to get around.
