Hip resurfacing is a surgical procedure which has been developed as a surgical alternative to hip replacement. The procedure consists of placing a cobalt-chrome metal cap, shaped like a mushroom, over the head of the femur while a matching metal cup is placed in the acetabulum (pelvis), replacing the articulating surfaces of the patient's hip joint. When the patient moves the hip, the movement of the joint induces synovial fluid to flow between the hard metal bearing surfaces lubricating them.
