Hip Resurfacing epitomizes medical achievements in arthroplasty. The Hip Resurfacing implant has a metal cup and a metal head that is fixed over the head of femur (thigh bone). Hip Resurfacing has a twelve year history and is being performed in Apollo Speciality Hospital for the past seven years. The largest series in the world for Hip Resurfacing done for avascular necrosis of the Hip is from this hospital.
