Do you also do hemi-resurfacing?

Answer

I am doing only total resurfacings. Hemi’s (hemiarthroplasty) are not performed in Europe. They are not done because they are not performing as well as full resurfacings. In the USA they are done because the total resurfacing is not yet FDA approved! In young people cartilage will wear out and osteoarthritis symptons will occur.
