Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I think the length of the surgery depends on what type of incision the surgeon does and how complicated the surgery is, the bone density, the prosthesis used and the experience of the surgeon. I had a hip resurface and it ran around 2 hours from beginning to end. It takes longer for this type of surgery because the hip is literally taken out of the socket so the surgeon can view the acetbulum and the head of the femur.
