Hip resurfacing is
intended for young, active adults who are under 60 years of age
and in need of a hip replacement. Adults over 60 who are living
non-sedentary lifestyles may also be considered for this
procedure. However, this can only be further determined by a
review of your bone quality.
There are certain causes of hip
arthritis that result in extreme deformity of either the head of
the femur or the hip socket. These cases are usually not
candidates for hip resurfacing.

candidate for hip resurfacing, please visit

this section you also will find instructions on how to submit
your x-rays and medical information to Dr. Rogerson for an
initial analysis without charge.
