Hip Replacement Surgeons Treat Hip Pain Through Surgical Intervention
──
When the hip joint wears out as part of osteoarthritis or other degenerative joint disease, motion can be restored and pain relieved with a hip replacement. While this is major surgery, our board-certified physicians are experienced in using an anterior approach, resulting in very rapid recovery and minimal postoperative pain.
An "anterior approach" refers to the direction of the approach to the joint during surgery. Using an anterior approach facilitates rapid recovery, shorter hospital stays and significantly decreased pain after surgery. This means you get back to your favorite activities faster and with less pain.

Hip Arthroscopy for Hip Injuries, Labrum Tears, Impingement and More
──
If you've injured your hip through something like a labral tear (an injury to the ring of cartilage mentioned above) or have hip impingement that needs correction, arthroscopy may be the best option for you. This is the least invasive surgical option for conditions like these. It is still surgical, but technology like video scopes and specially-designed surgical tools allow us to complete these repairs with smaller incisions, meaning less postoperative pain and recovery time.
