Selecting Your Hip Resurfacing Surgeon – A Patient’s Guide January 31, 2025

[Pat Walter]

Article Written by Patricia Walter -  After 20 years of experience with hip resurfacing since starting the website in 2005 and talking to thousands of patients, I personally feel that selecting the right surgeon is the MOST IMPORTANT decision you’ll make for your hip resurfacing surgery. Studies show that a surgeon needs at least 100 procedures to become truly experienced. The really experienced surgeons have done 7000 to 10,000 or more hip resurfacings â€" that’s a huge difference in experience levels.

Hip resurfacing can give amazing results when done by experienced surgeons. The numbers tell the story â€" 99% of implants still working great after 17 years, and 92% of patients getting back to sports. That’s much better than what you typically see with regular hip replacements where activities are often limited.

I created this guide to help you find and evaluate hip resurfacing surgeons based on what I’ve learned from my own experience and from helping thousands of other patients. I’ll share the key questions to ask, what to look for, and how to make sure you’re making the right choice for your surgery.
