With a well-established orthopaedic infrastructure, Carolina Medical Center performs Hip Resurfacing Surgery only for patients eligible for this bone-preserving procedure rather than traditional hip replacement surgery. Founded in 1998, the ISO accredited facility in Warsaw, Poland is equipped with 60 beds.

Hip resurfacing is an alternative procedure for selectively chosen candidates with severe hip arthritis or a serious joint injury. Hip resurfacing differs from traditional hip replacement surgery because most of the femoral head is preserved, and only the injured surfaces of the joint are replaced with artificial parts. The orthopaedic surgeon reviews the patient’s case before surgery by performing necessary imaging studies and medical tests to assess implant suitability and prepare for recovery.
