Hip surgery refers to the surgical treatment of diseases or injuries of the hip joint.
The most common conditions include hip osteoarthritis, hip impingement, labral tear, hip dislocation and fractures of the hip joint. Some of the common hip surgery procedures include:
1. Hip replacement: It is a surgical procedure to replace the damaged or diseased hip joint with a prosthesis. There are different types of hip replacements that can be selected depending on the patient's age, gender, bone quality and other factors.
2. Hip arthroscopy: This minimally invasive technique involves making a small incision in the skin to insert an arthroscope into the hip joint for diagnosis and treatment options. It can be used to treat hip osteoarthritis, labral tears, hip impingement, and other problems.
3. Femoroacetabular impingement surgery: This surgery repairs abnormally shaped hip joints by removing the excess bone that puts strain on the hip joint and causes pain and limited movement.
4. Hip dislocation surgery: This surgery involves putting the hip joint back into its normal position when it has been dislocated due to an injury or accident. Hip surgery is a complex and demanding area of surgery.
Only put your hip in the hands of a specialist!
