While I could not find an exhaustive list of NHL players who have had hip resurfacing surgery, here are a few notable examples:
1. Pavel Datsyuk: The former Detroit Red Wings forward underwent hip resurfacing surgery in 2019 while playing in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
2. Ryan Whitney: The former defenseman, who played for various NHL teams, including the Pittsburgh Penguins, underwent hip resurfacing surgery in 2017 while still an active player.
3. Mike Rathje: The former defenseman, who played for the San Jose Sharks and Philadelphia Flyers, had hip resurfacing surgery in 2010, which effectively ended his playing career.
It is important to note that while there may be more NHL players who have had hip resurfacing surgery, the information on individual players’ surgeries may not always be publicly available.
