Total hip replacement (arthroplasty) removes the damaged ball-and-socket joint and replaces it with prosthetic components made of metal, ceramic, or polyethylene. The femoral head is replaced with a metal or ceramic ball on a stem, and the acetabulum is lined with a new cup. Over 450,000 hip replacements are performed annually in the US with a 95%+ satisfaction rate.
Hip resurfacing preserves more of the natural femoral bone by capping the femoral head with a metal shell rather than removing it entirely. The acetabulum receives a metal cup similar to total hip replacement. This bone-conserving approach is typically reserved for younger, active patients with good bone quality who want to maintain a more natural hip feel.
