Introduction
The hip joint can be thought of as a ball and
socket joint between which lies a lubricating and
protective layer known as cartilage. When
cartilage loss occurs (a condition known as
arthritis), the patient experiences pain as well
as a loss of mobility and function. At that time,
a hip replacement may be recommended. A hip
replacement involves the removal of the arthritic
cartilage and replacing the ball (femoral head)
and socket (acetabulum) with artificial parts.

Total Hip and Surface Replacement
With both traditional hip replacement and surface
replacement, the socket is inserted in a similar
fashion. The two procedures differ in the way the
femur is prepared. Whereas traditional hip
replacement involves removing the head and neck
of the femur, surface replacement preserves this
bone (see picture). With a traditional hip
replacement, after this bone is removed, a
prosthetic ball attached with a stem is inserted
within the thigh bone. With a surface
replacement, the preserved bone is sculpted to
accept a metal cap with a short stem
