Hip
How we can help you
Orthopaedic hip conditions are common and can cause discomfort and even disability if not treated promptly. There are several conditions that can affect the hip, such as hip fractures, osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, and labral tears. These conditions can cause pain and difficulty with everyday activities such as walking, sitting, or standing for prolonged periods.
Fortunately, orthopaedic procedures can provide effective solutions to many hip conditions. For example, a hip replacement surgery is a common procedure used to treat severe hip arthritis. This procedure involves the removal of damaged cartilage and bone, and replacing it with an artificial hip joint. The artificial hip joint allows patients to move without the previous pain and discomfort they experienced. Another common procedure for hip conditions is hip arthroscopy. It is a minimally invasive procedure that allows an orthopaedic surgeon to access the inside of the hip joint using a small camera called an arthroscope. Through small incisions, surgeons can use the arthroscope to diagnose and treat a variety of hip conditions such as labral tears, hip impingement, and snapping hip syndrome.
So if you are experiencing any pain or discomfort in your hip joint, speak to one of our orthopaedic surgeons about the different treatment options available. With modern techniques and technologies, there’s no need to live with hip pain and discomfort.
