1. Hip resurfacing is a bigger surgical exposure than a total hip replacement
2. It necessitates a metal-on-metal bearing (search the internet about this and ALVAL)
3. It only conserves some bone on the femur, the idea being a revision is easier, but never been proven to date
4. More challenging than a regular total hip replacement, more room for error
