Far less radical than the standard US hip replacement operation.
Does not involve cutting of the thigh bone.
A metal cap is fit over the end of the thigh bone which fits into a metal socket in the hip.
Patients usually recover faster with enough mobility to do virtually anything.
Until the FDA approves it, the only way to have this operation in the US is by getting into a clinical trial.
