Hip Resurfacing Thomas Gross, M.D., is the first surgeon in the state to perform hip resurfacing and is one of the nation's leaders in developing metal-on-metal hip surface replacement. Hip resurfacing is a durable solution for the young, highly active patient who wants to avoid the bone loss and limitations inherent in standard total hip replacement. Dr. Gross first performed this procedure in July of 1999 and has subsequently led a multicenter FDA study to bring this procedure to the United States. Since this time he has refined the procedure, which was developed in England. Dr. Gross performs hip resurfacing using a minimally invasive approach through a four-inch incision. He has performed over 750 procedures on patients throughout the United States. For more information, visit www.grossortho.com
