At Palmetto Bone and Joint, our mission is to provide every patient with accurate, evidence-based guidance to protect your joint health and improve your quality of life.

If you’ve been told you need hip surgery, you may have heard about hip resurfacing as a “less invasive,” bone-preserving option compared to a total hip replacement. While it can sound appealing at first glance, the reality is that hip resurfacing often carries more risks than benefits—especially when compared to today’s advanced techniques like anterior total hip replacement.

In this post, we break down why hip resurfacing is frequently the wrong choice, the complications you should be aware of, and why anterior total hip replacement remains the gold standard for restoring mobility, reducing pain, and getting you back to the life you love.

Your hips deserve the best care available—let us help guide you there. 💙

At Palmetto Bone and Joint, we are dedicated to providing patients with the most accurate, evidence-based guidance when it comes to joint health.

Meet Mr. Smith! He had a left Jiffy Knee total knee replacement with Dr. James Loging earlier this year, and at only 2 weeks post-op was already enjoying impressive mobility! 🙌
The Jiffy Knee technique is a game-changer in joint replacement. Unlike traditional total knee replacement, the Jiffy Knee is a muscle- and tendon-sparing approach that avoids cutting through the quadriceps muscle or tendon. That means less trauma, less pain, and a faster recovery. Watch Mr. Smith’s video to see the difference for yourself! 💪🦵

If you are interested in learning more about the Jiffy Knee or if you think you may be a candidate for the Jiffy Knee, call our office at 803-941-8095 (Chapin) or 803-321-6254 (Newberry) or 803-470-7040 (Irmo) so that we can set up a consultation.

At Palmetto Bone and Joint, our commitment is simple: we always prioritize what is best for our patients.

In the world of orthopaedic surgery, trends come and go—but science, outcomes, and ethics must guide everything we do. That’s why we believe it’s important to speak openly about hip resurfacing, a procedure that continues to be promoted by some surgeons despite overwhelming evidence that it poses unnecessary risks and offers little benefit over modern total hip replacement—particularly when performed through the anterior approach.
