Procedures

Procedures Offered

Hip Replacement Resurfacing Arthroscopy Labrum

Hip Replacement

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.

Success rate: 95%+ | Implant lifespan: 20-30 years | Recovery: 3-6 months

Hip Resurfacing

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.

Best for: Active patients under 60 | Bone preservation: Yes | Recovery: 3-6 months

Hip Arthroscopy

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.

Incision size: 5-10mm | Outpatient: Yes | Recovery: 3-6 months depending on repair
