Hip Surgery
Arthroscopy is a less invasive surgical method that helps our surgeons identify and treat hip issues with care. By using a small camera and special tools, we can see inside your hip joint on a screen, making it easier to fix problems without needing large cuts. This often means less pain and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.
Common Conditions Leading to Hip Surgery
The gluteus medius is an important muscle that helps keep your hip stable and moving smoothly. Tears in this muscle can cause significant pain and make everyday activities difficult. With arthroscopic surgery, we can repair these tears effectively, helping you regain strength and move more comfortably.
Avascular necrosis occurs when the blood flow to the hip bone is reduced, leading to bone tissue damage. This condition can eventually cause severe arthritis if not addressed. A core decompression procedure can help by removing the damaged bone and restoring blood flow, potentially preventing further damage and reducing the need for hip replacement.
Osteoarthritis in the hip can lead to pain and stiffness, making it hard to enjoy daily life. While arthroscopy may not cure osteoarthritis, in some cases it can help by removing loose cartilage and cleaning up the joint, providing relief and improving mobility. At Carondelet Medical Group, our goal is to help you return to your active lifestyle with as little disruption as possible. If you're experiencing hip pain or injury, you can count on our team to offer you thorough care and effective treatments.
A labral tear happens when the ring of cartilage (labrum) around your hip joint socket gets damaged. This can lead to pain and make your hip feel unstable. Our experienced surgeons use arthroscopy to trim or fix the torn labrum, which helps improve function and ease discomfort.
A tear in the proximal hamstring can be very painful and make it hard to walk or stand. Through a small incision, we can reattach the torn hamstring tendons to the bone, making your recovery smoother and helping you get back on your feet with confidence.
