The type of surgery you need for hip pain depends on what’s causing the pain. Doctors treat hip fractures, labral tears, and other issues differently. Our hip replacement surgeons work in several forms of surgery, including the following.

Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery

If you have a labral tear, our hip doctors can perform minimally invasive hip surgery. With the same arthroscope they use to assess your hip, they can reattach the labrum with instruments that also go through tiny incisions. The team specializes in using arthroscopic techniques, which cause significantly less tissue damage and reduces postoperative pain. Recovery is also faster with minimally invasive hip surgery.

Hip Replacement

Anterior hip replacement is another specialty of the Elite Sports Medicine and Orthopedics team. It involves accessing your hip from the front of your body to substitute artificial components for diseased or damaged parts of the joint. Another type of hip replacement is the posterior hip replacement. Here, hip replacement surgeons make an incision on the back and the side of the hip, as opposed to the front.

Hip Resurfacing

We also offer hip resurfacing surgery. In this procedure, our surgeons put metal on the ball of your femur where it meets the socket. This surgery is less invasive than a total hip replacement because your doctor removes damaged cartilage instead of bone.

Fracture Surgeries

If you fracture your hip through a fall, vehicle accident, or other blunt trauma to the bone, you will need surgery. Since each hip fracture is slightly different, your surgeon will adjust your procedure based on the break. Regardless of where the surgeon chooses to make the incision, they will need to realign the broken bones.
