In hip resurfacing, small amounts of damaged bone or cartilage are trimmed away, and the hip joint surfaces are replaced with metal components, preserving more of the patient’s own bone. This procedure takes less bone from the joint and is typically most effective in younger patients with strong bones. 502-584-7525.
