Hip Resurfacing
Over 400 procedures across the Adept and ReCerf implant systems. Patient selection is meticulous: resurfacing is offered only to those for whom the data supports an excellent outcome.
Mr Shakir Hussain is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital Birmingham and one of the UK's higher-volume hip resurfacing surgeons, with over 400 procedures performed across two implant systems, Adept and ReCerf. His practice spans primary and revision hip and knee replacement, with hip resurfacing as a particular focus in carefully selected, active patients.
Not every hip surgeon performs resurfacing, and for good reason. The procedure has a steeper learning curve than standard hip replacement: peer-reviewed data show complications more than three times higher in low-volume hands, with consistent component positioning taking at least 75 dedicated cases to achieve. Mr Hussain trained at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital under Mr Ronan Treacy, co-developer of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing and the most experienced resurfacing surgeon in the world. His training connects directly to the procedure's founders, Professor Derek McMinn and Mr Treacy. That lineage is reflected in the care and precision applied to every patient. If you are weighing up your options, our guide to choosing a hip resurfacing surgeon sets out exactly what to look for.
