Contact Edwin P. Su at (212) 606-1128 to schedule a consultation about hip replacement or other hip procedures.
Total hip replacement (arthroplasty) removes the damaged ball-and-socket joint and replaces it with prosthetic components made of metal, ceramic, or polyethylene. The femoral head is replaced with a metal or ceramic ball on a stem, and the acetabulum is lined with a new cup. Over 450,000 hip replacements are performed annually in the US with a 95%+ satisfaction rate.
Hip resurfacing preserves more of the natural femoral bone by capping the femoral head with a metal shell rather than removing it entirely. The acetabulum receives a metal cup similar to total hip replacement. This bone-conserving approach is typically reserved for younger, active patients with good bone quality who want to maintain a more natural hip feel.
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure where the surgeon inserts a small camera and instruments through two to three small incisions around the hip. It is used to treat labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), loose bodies, cartilage damage, and snapping hip syndrome. Patients typically go home the same day with crutches.
The labrum is a ring of cartilage surrounding the hip socket that deepens the joint and provides stability. Labral tears commonly result from femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), trauma, or repetitive hip motions. Arthroscopic labral repair reattaches or reconstructs the torn tissue using suture anchors, restoring hip stability and reducing pain.

Dr. Su performed my anterior hip replacement and I was walking the same day. His expertise with the anterior approach made recovery remarkably fast — I was off the cane in 10 days.
After years of hip pain, Dr. Su gave me my life back. He took the time to explain all my options including resurfacing vs replacement. The surgery was flawless.
I traveled from California to see Dr. Su specifically for hip resurfacing. He is one of the few surgeons in the country with extensive resurfacing experience. Worth every mile.
As a 48-year-old runner, I was devastated by my hip diagnosis. Dr. Su recommended resurfacing to preserve bone stock and get me back to running. Six months later I ran a half marathon.
Excellent surgeon, excellent results. My only complaint is the wait for an appointment — 6 weeks — but given his reputation, that is expected. The surgery itself was perfect.
