More than 70,000 people across the world with osteoarthritis have undergone a hip resurfacing procedure with the BIRMINGHAM HIP™ resurfacing system. Using a specialized instrument, the surgeon will remove the damaged surface of the socket to tightly support a highly-polished metal cup. The femur is similarly prepared for a polished metal cap, preserving much of the original bone.
