femoral head resurfacing

Femoral head resurfacing is a surgical procedure to repair a damaged hip joint. Instead of removing the entire ball of the thigh bone (femur), the surgeon reshapes and caps it with a metal covering, preserving more of the bone. This technique often benefits active patients and younger individuals by providing stability and easier future surgeries if needed. The procedure reduces pain, restores movement, and can promote more natural joint function, making it a valuable option for treating hip joint problems caused by arthritis or injury.
