Hip Resurfacing

Dr. Grimes Specializes in Hip Resurfacing

Hip resurfacing is a procedure that uses a metal cap over the hip ball and that may conserve more bone than traditional hip replacement procedures. This large diameter cap may reduce the risk of dislocation and often provides a more natural performance than total hip replacement. Hip resurfacing is not for everyone; it is more appropriate for active patients with osteoarthritis and good bone quality.
