With a well-established orthopaedic infrastructure, IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele performs Hip Resurfacing Surgery only for patients eligible for this bone-preserving procedure rather than traditional hip replacement surgery. Founded in 1971, the SSN accredited facility in milan, Italy is equipped with 1350 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.
