Hear from Thomas P. Gross, M.D. as he discusses the best candidates for Hip Resurfacing. This is a great alternative to a Hip Replacement for those that qualify.

I'm so glad I found this page! I'm in North Myrtle Beach, age 59 and both hips need resurfacing. I'm in good shape otherwise. Active, fit, weightlifter. Just had my hips MRI'd...

A very informative video especially regarding metal allergies! Hip resurfacing is amazing! I have such carried out by Prof D Meek (Glasgow). after 3.5 years' and at the age of 66, I continue to run up to 60 miles per week and continue to race at 10K distance!

Is Hip Resurfacing possible for people with avascular necrosis? Are there any experts in this field in Southern California you can refer?

I am so happy to see this alternative for total hip replacement. I am person with Hemophilia-A (46 Years Old) and my orthopedic surgeon sys both hips arthritic therefore, he recommend me to go for a total hip replacement. I would love to do this resurfacing surgery. Am I eligible candidate for this surgery.?

Can I ask how does sport impact on the wear of the resurfacing please? Do they therefore last longer than a full replacement and what is the size of the ball?

my surgeon told me that the technology for hip resurfacing isn’t advanced enough to get a permanent bind of the new material to the femural head. if there was a way to make that surfacing bind better, he’d recommend it all day long but he said the resurfacing just doesn’t last long enough. has that issue been solved? 62 yr old, bone on bone with no cartilage, strong healthy bones and very active athlete; big wave surfer, dirt bike rider.

I read a lot of papers and I learned that the femur head size is very important for the success of resurfacing. The larger the better. Larger than 55mm is excellent

Can a metal on metal Birmingham resurfacing implant be replaced with a better material instead of metal on metal? I have a 17 year old BHR and noticed that my CO and CR numbers are starting to increase in my blood work.

Sorry to hear about your elevated numbers. The problem with metalossis, it’s irreversible unless the causative material (your prosthetic hip) is removed. I’m a surgeon and I too require a hip replacement due to FAI & subsequent arthritis. I’d prefer resurfacing but realize metalossis is a significant concern. Good luck

They have a new implant called Polymotion coming out soon. It’s metal on polyethylene. Might be a game changer.

I read an article that they experimented a drug that could lower the CO and CR levels. I don't know if it works for everyone. Better do a research and talk to some doctors.
