How we can help

A Practice Built Around Hip Resurfacing

Whether you are a runner, cyclist, climber or simply want to remain on your feet without compromise, hip resurfacing is one of the few procedures designed for people who refuse to slow down.

The practice spans the full scope of hip and knee joint surgery, from primary replacement through complex revision work. Hip resurfacing is a particular area of special interest. Modern bone-preserving systems including the Adept, ReCerf, and H1 are used in carefully selected patients.

Why Hip Resurfacing

Designed for Active Lives


Hip resurfacing differs fundamentally from a total hip replacement. The femoral head is reshaped and capped, not removed, preserving bone, biomechanics and the ability to return to higher-impact activity.

Bone Preservation

The femoral head is capped rather than removed, conserving native bone for the future.

Return to Activity

The larger bearing and natural anatomy support a return to running, cycling and other high-demand activity.

Long-Term Durability

Well-selected patients experience excellent long-term survivorship: performance that endures.
