This procedure does not replace the whole joint, but rather, only the diseased lining (or cartilage) of the hip and is a relatively new procedure.

Description of Hip Resurfacing

Until recently, the only surgical opinion for a badly worn out or degenerated hip joint (caused by osteoathritis) was a total hip replacement operation. However, this has several constraints, mainly its limited lifespan, especially in younger and more active individuals.
Hip resurfacing involves removing the old worn out cartilage of the hip joint and replacing this with a new lining, which prevents the bones from rubbing painfully against each other. It therefore involves much less bone removal as compared to a total hip replacement and therefore, recovery times are much quicker.
