Hip
Hip injuries and conditions can affect people of all ages. Whether caused
by a slow-acting condition or a more sudden injury, hip problems tend
to get worse over time. The faster you address the issue, the easier it
will be to prevent further damage.
Our orthopedic physicians provide comprehensive medical treatment for various
conditions of the hip. They have experience in both surgical and non-surgical
options to restore normal movement and help you get back to life.

Non-Surgical Care
You can often find relief from hip pain through conservative treatments.
Our team will discuss all of your options and start with the least invasive
options first.
- Medications
- Injections
- Occupational Therapy
- Physical Therapy
Surgical Treatments
If non-surgical treatments for hip pain fail to give you the results you
need, you should talk to your doctor about surgery. Our surgeons provide
you with expertise in surgical options, including different approaches
to hip replacement to meet your needs.
-
Arthroscopy – Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used for
both diagnosis and treatment. It can help us find the cause of your hip
pain and treat some hip conditions using a small incision and a scope.
-
Anterior Hip Replacement – Like traditional hip replacement surgery, this surgery removes
worn out areas of your joint and replaces them with synthetic pieces.
But minimally invasive anterior hip replacement uses an incision on the
front of the hip between muscles, resulting in less pain and a faster recovery.
-
Avascular Necrosis Treatment – When part of your bone tissue does not have enough blood supply,
it can lead to the death of the bone — called avascular necrosis.
If this happens in your hip or thigh bone, we offer surgical care including
osteotomy, decompression, bone grafting, and joint replacement.
-
Computer and Robotic Assisted Hip Joint Replacement – These technologies improve precision and positioning during your
procedure. Computer navigation allows us to see a 3D view of your joint
and the surgical tools in real time. Robotic-assisted surgery uses CT
scan imaging to plan your surgery and robotic arms during surgery to increase
precision.
-
Hemiarthroplasty of the Hip – If you have a hip fracture, your doctor may recommend hemiarthroplasty
of the hip. Hemiarthroplasty of the hip means that your surgeon will only
replace the ball portion of the hip joint with a metal implant.
-
Hip Resurfacing – Compared to total hip replacement, resurfacing can give you pain
relief without replacing as much of your hip joint. Resurfacing still
replaces the socket portion of your hip. However, it allows you to keep
more of your original thigh bone (femur) in place.
-
Minimally Invasive Joint Replacement - Minimally invasive approaches to hip replacement surgery allow us to
use the same surgical techniques and implants as traditional surgery but
with smaller incisions and fewer effects on the surrounding tissues.
-
Osteotomy – Your doctor may recommend surgery to cut and reshape part of the
bone, called an osteotomy. There are many types of pelvic osteotomy procedures.
The three main groups are reshaping, redirectional, and salvage/augmentation.
-
Posterior Hip Replacement – This common approach to hip replacements accesses your hip joint
to replace it through a small incision on the back of the hip. Because
it doesn’t require your surgeon to cut through muscles, it typically
provides a faster recovery.
-
Revision Hip Replacement – If your hip replacement is no longer working as it should, you
may be given the option to have a revisional hip replacement. This procedure
can be minor or require major changes to your bone and hip components.
-
Same-Day Hip Replacement – In some cases, we offer same-day hip replacement surgery options,
where patients go home on the same day as their procedure and recover
from the comfort of home. These surgeries optimize recovery through minimally
invasive techniques, anesthesia and pain control protocols, and immediate
movement after surgery.
-
Total Hip Replacement - Through total joint replacement surgery, we replace worn-out or damaged
parts of the joint to help you regain movement and reduce pain. Our team
specializes in all types of joint replacement surgery and will personalize
care to your specific condition.
