Anterior Hip Replacement

Anterior Hip Replacement

Direct anterior hip replacement is a minimally invasive hip surgery to replace the hip joint without cutting through any muscles or tendons as against traditional hip replacement that involves cutting major muscles to access the hip joint.

Acetabuloplasty

Acetabuloplasty

An acetabuloplasty is a surgical procedure employed for the correction of a condition known as pincer impingement. Pincer impingement is a form of hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

Ultrasound Guided Hip Injections

Ultrasound Guided Hip Injections

An ultrasound scan is an imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound-guided hip joint injections are used to diagnose the underlying cause and relieve hip pain.

Hip Cartilage Repair

Hip Cartilage Repair

Hip cartilage is a white, tough, flexible tissue covering the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of your hip joint. It acts as a cushion or shock-absorber and allows the bones to slide over one another by providing a smooth surface in the joint.

Hip Labral Repair

Hip Labral Repair

Hip labral repair is a surgical procedure to treat hip labral tears. A hip labral tear is a partial or complete rupture of the hip labrum, a ring of fibrous cartilaginous tissue that surrounds the socket of the hip joint.

Hip Preservation Surgery

Hip Preservation Surgery

Hip replacement surgeries have long been the choice of treatment, where the damaged parts of the joint are removed and replaced with a prosthesis. However, in young active patients, the prostheses are highly prone to wear-and-tear, and the need for repeat surgery. Hip preservation is a surgery that overcomes the limitations of joint replacement.

Hip Microfracture

Hip Microfracture

Hip Microfracture is a marrow-stimulating technique that creates a network of small holes in the bone below the hip cartilage (subchondral bone). The goal of the procedure is to increase the blood supply to stimulate cartilage growth.

Proximal Hamstring Repair

Proximal Hamstring Repair

Hamstring injuries primarily occur when the muscle is exposed to extreme strain; when it is stretched beyond its ability or when it must withstand a sudden load.

Hip Arthroscopy

Hip Arthroscopy

Hip arthroscopy, also referred to as keyhole or minimally invasive surgery, is a procedure in which an arthroscope is inserted into your hip joint to check for any damage and repair it simultaneously.

Hip Cartilage Restoration

Hip Cartilage Restoration

Hip cartilage restoration is a surgical technique to repair damaged articular cartilage in the hip joint by stimulating new growth of cartilage or by transplanting cartilage into areas with defects in order to relieve pain and restore normal function to the hip.

Activities After Hip Replacement

Activities After Hip Replacement

You will be discharged from the hospital once you have sufficient pain control and are able to perform basic activities on your own, such as getting in and out of bed, going to the bathroom and walking with an assistive device such as crutches or a walker.

Hip Implants

Hip Implants

Hip implants are artificial devices that form the essential parts of the hip joint in a hip replacement surgery. The hip implants vary by size, shape, and material. Various components of a hip implant may be used for a hip replacement surgery.

Physical Examination of the Hip

Physical Examination of the Hip

Hip pain may be caused due to a variety of reasons such as osteoarthritis, labral tears, impingement, fractures, etc. Hip pain may be felt in the anterior, posterior or lateral part of the hip. Physical examination of the hip is the key component in diagnosing the cause of your hip pain or hip pathology.

Total Hip Replacement

Total Hip Replacement

Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the damaged cartilage and bone are removed from the hip joint and replaced with artificial components. The main indication for total hip replacement is arthritis.
