After reviewing the presentation, the radiologist should be able to: - know which patients with hip disease could be  appropiate candidates for hip resurfacing arthroplasty. - evaluate conventional radiographs of the patient with normal and normal hip resurfacing arthroplasty. - detect the presence of complications specifically related to the hip resurfacing procedure in conventional radiographs, - indicate and detect presence of certain complications in  the periprosthetic tissues in  other techniques of imaging, such as MRI, CT or even US. - diagnose general complications associated with any type of hip arthroplasty.  

Indications of the Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty. Review of Imaging Findings: -Conventional radiographs: Normal and abnormal positioning of both the femoral and acetabular components of the prosthesis . Complications specifically related to the hip resurfacing procedure: femoral neck notching, areas of stress shielding and neck fractures; avascular necrosis, loosening, osteolysis and metalosis. -Conventional MRI:  Metalosis (seudotumors,  particle induced synovitis...). CT, US: general complications associated with any type of hip arthroplasty, such as dislocation, deep vein thrombosis and thromboembolic disease, vascular and neural damage. Sample cases
