What is Hip Resurfacing?

Hip resurfacing is a surgical alternative to total hip replacement, often preferred by younger, active patients. The procedure reshapes damaged bone surfaces of the femoral head and acetabulum, capping them with durable metal implants. This preserves more natural bone, aiming to alleviate pain and restore full hip function for an active lifestyle.

Are There Different Approaches to Hip Resurfacing?

While hip resurfacing is a distinct surgical procedure, variations exist primarily in implant materials and surgical technique. Your surgeon will determine the best approach.

Implant Materials: Metal-on-metal is common; ceramic options explored.
Surgical Technique: Approaches vary, influencing recovery.
Customized Planning: Advanced imaging for precise implant fit.
Alternatives: Total hip replacement considered if unsuitable for resurfacing.

When Is Hip Resurfacing Recommended?

Persistent hip pain limiting activities.
Advanced hip arthritis.
Early-stage avascular necrosis.
Significant loss of hip range of motion.
Younger, active patients seeking bone preservation.
Good bone quality.

What Preparations Are Needed Before Hip Resurfacing?

Physical exam, medical history.
X-rays, MRI, or CT scans.
Blood and urine tests.
ECG for heart health.
Surgeon and anesthesiologist consultation.
Dental check-up.

How Is the Hip Resurfacing Procedure Carried Out?

Hip resurfacing is a precise surgical intervention, performed under anesthesia.

Anesthesia and Incision

Anesthesia is given; incision made to access hip, preserving tissues.

Bone Preparation

Damaged cartilage/minimal bone removed from femoral head/acetabulum, reshaped for implants.

Implant Placement

Metal cap fits femoral head; metal shell secures into acetabulum for smooth joint.

Closure

Site closed in layers, dressed; patient moved to recovery.

What Does Recovery From Hip Resurfacing Involve?

Recovery includes a 3-5 day hospital stay, followed by physical therapy. Pain management is key. Patients use crutches initially, gradually bearing full weight. Follow-ups monitor healing. Full return to activities typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on adherence to rehab.

What Are the Potential Risks and Success Rates?

• Surgical site infection.
• Blood clots.
• Femoral neck fracture.
• Nerve or vessel damage.
• Implant loosening.
• Metal ion release.

Hip resurfacing offers high success rates, providing significant pain relief and restored mobility. Outcomes vary by age, bone quality, and surgeon's expertise. Implants often last 15-20 years, with regular follow-ups crucial.

What is the Cost of Hip Resurfacing in Chennai?

Cost varies based on hospital, surgeon's experience, implant type, length of stay, and specific medical needs.

In Chennai, estimated hip resurfacing cost ranges from 4,00,000 to 7,00,000 Indian Rupees, depending on clinical factors.
