Besides the previously mentioned complications associated with hip replacement surgery, the metal\/metal friction couple releases tiny amounts of metallic ions into the body, which is inappropriate for female patients who are wish to get pregnant. During surgery, the cotyla can be lacking in primary stability. Should this be the case, we must use cotylae with screws, which do not fit with resurfacing cups, and therefore total hip replacement must be performed.

\nThere is also a risk of femoral neck fracture. The femoral neck can be weakened by the drilling conducted to set the prosthetic femoral head, making this procedure inappropriate for patients over 55 who may suffer from osteoporosis.<\/p>\n
\nThis surgery cannot be carried out via minimally invasive techniques.<\/strong> However, it can be used as a browsing system to improve femoral head positioning.<\/p>\n
