Hip joint resurfacing. Coloured frontal X-ray of the pelvis of a 52-year-old woman who has had a hip joint resurfacing operation on her right hip (centre left). This operation only replaces the joint surfaces, preserving the actual femoral head and most of the surrounding bone. A full hip replacement operation uses more implants and removes more bone. | |
