In this innovative process, the end of the thigh bone
(femur) is capped with a metal covering a strong cobalt
chromium metal much like the capping of a tooth. This fits
neatly into a metal cup that sits in the hip socket. Hip
resurfacing is not for everyone. But the Cormet System offered
by Stryker is designed for healthy, younger patients who want
to get back to their normal lifestyle.
