Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows an orthopedic surgeon to look inside the hip joint using a small camera and specialized instruments. It may be used to diagnose or treat conditions such as labral tears, bone impingement and damaged cartilage.
Procedures can include:
- Labral repair
- Labral reconstruction
- Femoroplasty
- Chondroplasty
When Should You Consider an Evaluation?
You may benefit from a hip evaluation if you have:
- Hip or groin pain that does not improve
- Clicking, catching or locking in the hip
- Stiffness that limits movement
- Discomfort during sports or exercise
- Pain when sitting, standing or walking for long periods
- Reduced mobility that affects daily life
You deserve answers before pain keeps you from doing the things you enjoy.
Why Patients Choose Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is designed to address the source of hip pain while using smaller incisions than traditional open surgery.
Potential benefits may include:
- Less pain
- Improved movement
- Greater hip stability
- A return to activities with more confidence
- Faster recovery compared to some traditional procedures
Every patient is different. Your orthopedic specialist will explain whether hip arthroscopy or another treatment option is right for you.
What to Expect
Your care journey may include:
- A conversation about your symptoms and goals
- A physical examination
- Imaging studies such as X-rays or magnetic resonance imaging
- A personalized treatment plan
If surgery is recommended, your team will guide you through preparation, recovery and rehabilitation every step of the way.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery often includes physical therapy, strengthening exercises and a gradual return to activity.
Rehabilitation is an important part of helping restore movement and build confidence after surgery.
Hip arthroscopy recovery plans are designed to support strength, flexibility and stability as healing progresses.
