Hip Resurfacing

Resurfacing of the upper part of the thigh bone (the femoral head) with a metal on metal replacement has been developed over the last ten years Mr Derek McMinn in Birmingham.

A metal resurfacing of the femoral head, in conjunction with a metal socket, is used to provide an alternative solution to a total hip replacement.

Mr Singer started performing hip resurfacing in June 2001, after visiting Derek McMinn in Birmingham during April 2001.

Since its conception, Mr Singer's resurfacing clinic has seen a regular through-put of cases.

In the example x-rays below (click the x-rays to enlarge), a 44 year old male is shown both before and after the hip resurfacing is performed by Mr Singer.
