A normal primary THR can be done. In rare cases a revision to another resurfacing is still possible. The procedure needed depends on the reason for revision. If the femural head requires a revision, due to wear, a large diameter modulair head on stem could be placed, with a perfect fitting into the existing cup. Even the cup can be revised with a new resurfacing cup with a one size larger diameter. We have done extensive research on this topic together with the manufacturers of the device.
