I heard there is an alternative to replacing hips now. Is this true?

For some people who require a hip replacement, there is another option called a metal-on-metal hip resurfacing. This particular procedure allows the patient to keep part of the hip and the joint part is resurfaced to allow easier, pain-free motion.

This procedure is often considered a viable alternative for younger patients who doctors are reluctant to perform a full replacement on because of age.
