I have been quoted at $14,000 US from a medical tourism company in Mexico. I believe there are many cheaper options also... between $8000 and $10000. A Hip Resurfacing costs about $ 7500- $ 8000 in India. The Madras Joint Replacement center is a premier Joint Replacement center that offers affordable Hip Resurfacing. http://www.hipsurgery.in http://www.kneeindia.com

Is resurfacing a hip a good option?
If you are suitable for hip resurfacing it is an excellent option for you. Resurfacing not only conserves bone but also has less restrictions than smaller head total hip replacements. It is essential that you see a resurfacing expert as it is a more difficult procedure and proper placement of the device is essential to its longevity. The website http://surfacehippy.info has a list of surgeons that have experience in this field. Resurfacing is preferred for younger patients who will require revision at some point in their lives. The McMinn Centre: http://www.mcminncentre.co.uk has some excellent information to the longevity of properly placed devices by a world class surgeon. Patient testimonies are also available there.

Is a Birmingham hip replacement the same as a DePuy hip replacement?
Both companies have products for hip resurfacing and for total hip replacement as well. Birmingham is owned by Smith & Nephew, and Depuy is owned by Johnson & Johnson. A correct comparison would be between their hip resurfacing systems, the BHR (Birmingham Hip Resurfacing) and ASR (Articular Surface Replacement) from Depuy and they are certainly not the same, although it can be said that they are similar, both are metal on metal implants. In rates of failures the "ASR system has a failure rate of 12% at 5 years compared to 4.3% of the BHR" - according to a study. Also a crucial component of the ASR system, the ASR XL Acetabular System has been recalled in 2010 due to high failure rates. Sources quoted in links section.
Are there alternates for hip replacement?
One alternative to a traditional total hip replacement is Hip Resurfacing. The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) was pioneered in 1997 by Derek McMinn. The BHR currently has success rates as high as 97% after 13 years which is incredible compared to the statistics of total hip replacements.The BHR works by resurfacing the Femoral head and fitting a metal, not plastic as used in Total Hip Replacements, acetabular component (socket). This Metal on Metal implant has significantly lower wear than Metal on Plastic which is so commonly used.It is a bone conserving surgical procedure, which means in the future should a patient require revision surgery this is much easier than if the original procedure was a total hip replacement. There is no reason why patients should wait until they hit 60-65 before having a total hip replacement - if the hip is giving you pain and discomfort then resurfacing could be you. Many local doctors and GPs will tell you to sit tight and wait until you are a suitable patient for a total hip replacement. The BHR has FDA approval in the US and has over 13 years of analysed data showing high success rates!The BHR is ideal for young active patients, who wish to get back to their previous active lifestyle. See the McMinn Centre website for more details!

Hip resurfacing is a viable alternative from a total hip replacement for young (<= 55) active people. The surgery is not as common and is considered trickier to perform, so finding an experienced hip resurfacing surgeon is important for best results.

What are some of the drawbacks of resurfacing cabinets as opposed to buying new ones?
Some drawbacks of resurfacing cabinets as opposed to buying new ones is that it is a lot of hard work and labor, if you are not willing to do it yourself then the cost for new ones would be just as much as labor and materials. Also if you would like to change the layout of your kitchen or even fix some old chipped or broken cabinets you will not be able to by just resurfacing the cabinets.
