Hip resurfacing arthroplasty offers excellent short-term results for select patients. However, caution is advised due to unknown long-term safety and efficacy of these metal-on-metal hip implants.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomaterials Engineering

Background:

  • Hip resurfacing arthroplasty caps the femoral head, preserving proximal femur bone.
  • Metal-on-metal surface replacements have been available since the early 1990s.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical results and failure rates of hip resurfacing arthroplasty.
  • To identify optimal candidates and surgical considerations for hip resurfacing.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent studies on hip resurfacing arthroplasty outcomes.
  • Analysis of clinical results and failure rates at 1- to 5-year follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Recent studies show excellent clinical results with low failure rates at 1- to 5-year follow-up.
  • Optimal candidates are younger than 60 with good bone stock.

Conclusions:

  • Hip resurfacing shows promise but requires caution due to limited long-term data.
  • Specialized surgical training and careful patient selection are crucial for reducing complications.
