Learn About CONSERVE® Femoral Surface Replacement
This section of our site is devoted to hip patients who are interested in researching all of their alternatives in order to maintain their active lifestyles.
Partial hip resurfacing, or hemi-resurfacing, is the most bone-conserving approach to hip surgery. During this procedure, only the femoral head (where the leg joins the hip) is reshaped and resurfaced. The hip socket (acetabulum) is left completely intact. The obvious benefit with partial resurfacing is that the patient keeps most of his or her own bone, which allows for easier revisions in the future (if one becomes necessary).
The CONSERVE® femoral component offers younger patients a viable alternative to total hip replacement. And as part of the CONSERVE® family of products, it's part of a three-tiered solution that gives patients a lifelong plan for their hips. Talk to your doctor today to find out if you are a candidate for the CONSERVE® Femoral Surface Replacement.
