Authors' objectives:
Contemporary total hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) involves the removal and replacement of the surface of the femoral head with a hollow metal hemisphere that fits into a metal cup inserted into the acetabulum of the pelvis. HRA has been proposed as an alternative to conventional total hip replacement (THR) for the treatment of young, active patients who have radiographic evidence of joint damage and/or chronic pain or disability that interferes with daily activities and is refractory to conservative treatment, and who would be expected to outlive any conventional THR prosthesis and who therefore face the possibility of multiple revision procedures during their lifetime.
