Background

Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) has seen a recent revival with third generation Metal-on-Metal prostheses and is now widely in use. However, safety and effectiveness of hip resurfacing are still questioned. We systematically reviewed peer-reviewed literature on hip resurfacing arthroplasty to address these issues.

Objective

To evaluate implant survival and functional outcomes of hybrid Metal-on-Metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA).
