Hip resurfacing is a bone-conserving surgical procedure for the hip joint in which the damaged surface of the femoral head (the ball) is trimmed and capped with a smooth metal cover, rather than being removed and replaced with a stem as in a total hip replacement. The socket side is treated similarly to a conventional replacement, with a metal cup fixed into the pelvis. This approach preserves more of the natural thigh bone, which can be an important advantage if further surgery is ever needed later in life. Hip resurfacing is generally recommended for younger, active adults — typically in their 40s and 50s — with advanced hip arthritis and good bone quality, who want to return to an active lifestyle. Most patients stay in hospital for three to five days and use crutches for the first few weeks; full recovery, including return to higher-level activities such as hiking or cycling, typically takes six to twelve months.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this treatment: X-ray of the affected hip (AP and lateral views), MRI of the hip (to assess femoral head bone quality and cysts), DEXA scan (bone density assessment), Cobalt and chromium serum ion levels (baseline), CBC, KFT (kidney function — relevant for metal-on-metal implant monitoring), ECG, HbA1c (if diabetic or borderline). Done in India before hospital admission. Cost varies with case complexity.
Estimated cost in India: $6,000 – $9,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~15 days recommended
