Total Hip Replacement
Hip replacement surgery is a procedure used to relieve pain and improve movement in people with severe hip arthritis or damage. During the surgery, the damaged parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components designed to move smoothly and comfortably. Many patients experience significant pain relief, better mobility, and an improved quality of life after recovery.
Hip Arthritis
Hip arthritis is a condition that occurs when the smooth cartilage that cushions the hip joint gradually wears away over time. As the cartilage breaks down, the bones can rub against each other, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. People with hip arthritis may notice discomfort with walking, standing, or daily activities, and symptoms often worsen with activity and improve with rest. While arthritis cannot be cured, treatments such as exercise, medications, injections, and sometimes surgery can help relieve pain and improve function. Click here to learn more!
Hip Bursitis
Greater trochanteric bursitis is a common cause of pain on the outside of the hip that occurs when the bursa—a small fluid‑filled sac that cushions the hip—becomes irritated or inflamed. People often feel pain or tenderness along the outer hip that may worsen when walking, lying on that side, or climbing stairs. It is often related to overuse, muscle tightness or weakness, or changes in walking mechanics. Most cases improve with treatments such as activity modification, physical therapy, anti‑inflammatory medications, and sometimes injections. Click here to learn more!
Hip Avascular Necrosis
Hip avascular necrosis is a condition in which the blood supply to the ball of the hip joint is reduced or cut off, causing the bone to weaken and gradually collapse. As the bone loses its strength, the smooth joint surface can become damaged, leading to pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking. People may notice groin, thigh, or buttock pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest, especially in the early stages. Treatment options range from medications and activity changes to joint replacement, depending on how advanced the condition is. Click here to learn more!
Hip Dysplasia
Adult hip dysplasia is a condition in which the hip socket is too shallow to fully support the ball of the hip joint. Because the ball is not well covered, the joint can become unstable and wear down more quickly, leading to pain, stiffness, and early arthritis. Adults with hip dysplasia may feel groin, hip, or thigh pain, especially with activity, standing, or walking long distances. Treatment depends on symptom severity and may include physical therapy, medications, injections, or surgery to improve joint function and reduce pain. Click here to learn more!
