Unlike conventional total hip replacement (THR), hip resurfacing is conservative in that the femoral head and neck of the hip joint are not removed nor is bone removed from the femur. In the case of surface replacement, less bone is also removed from the acetabulum as compared to conventional THR since no polyethylene liner is used.
