Exploring Hip Resurfacing with Mr Panos Gikas and Mr Amir Ardakani

In this episode, Mr Panos Gikas, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, joins host Mr Amir Ardakani, Orthopaedic Registrar and hip and knee fellow at Cleveland Clinic London, for an in-depth discussion on hip resurfacing. Hip resurfacing has long divided opinion within the orthopaedic community, often judged by revision rates, early implant designs, and variable surgical techniques. However, when outcomes such as functional recovery, proprioception, and load distribution are considered, the procedure presents a very different story. Together, they examine the latest evidence, the key differences between hip resurfacing and hip replacement, and what these mean for patients seeking to return to active lifestyles. This conversation provides valuable insights into a procedure that continues to evolve, and the circumstances in which it may offer unique benefits.
