I have a large Patient to Patient website dedicated to Hip Resurfacing called   Surface Hippy.  About 9000 unique visitors a month  use the website to learn about hip resurfacing. Many don't have time to keep up with what's new in hip resurfacing, so I decided to place news media articles about Hip Resurfacing on the Hip Resurfacing News Website.  It is a place to quickly find out what is new and what is changing in the field of hip resurfacing.

Hip Resurfacing came of age in the United States when the FDA approved Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) in May 2006. Previous to the FDA Approval, hip resurfacings were done in Europe, Canada, Australia and other countries outside the United States. Orthopedic surgeons have been performing hip resurfacing surgeries since 1997 in most countries. Over 90,000 people world wide have received hip resurfacings.

Since the FDA Approval of the BHR and Cormet in the US, there are a large number of new surgeons learning the techniques and many people wondering if the surgery is right for them. There are new surgeons training, new medical studies completed regularly and general articles published in newspapers, magazines and in the media daily. Keeping up with all of the information becomes a real task for most people. People are trying to find pertinent information without spending hours and hours searching online - that is the purpose of  Hip Resurfacing News.
