Objectives

We aimed to determine the effect of surgical approach on the histology of the femoral head following resurfacing of the hip.

Methods

We performed a histological assessment of the bone under the femoral component taken from retrieval specimens of patients having revision surgery following resurfacing of the hip. We compared the number of empty lacunae in specimens from patients who had originally had a posterior surgical approach with the number in patients having alternative surgical approaches.
