Academy Orthopedics offers a wide array of hip surgeries, each customized to address specific conditions and injuries. Whether it’s the repair of a hip fracture or addressing the wear and tear of osteoarthritis, the procedures are designed with precision and patient care in mind.
From the minimally invasive approach of hip arthroscopy to the comprehensive transformation of a total hip replacement, the goal remains the same: restoring mobility and improving quality of life through procedures like minimally invasive hip replacement.
Hip Conditions & Procedures
Hip Fracture
A hip fracture, a disruption that occurs near the hip in the upper part of the femur, often calls for surgical intervention. The nature of the fracture and the patient’s overall health dictate the type of surgery, including:
These procedures are not just about mending bones; they are about minimizing pain, restoring function, and preventing complications such as blood clots that can arise from immobility.
Osteoarthritis of the Hip
Osteoarthritis of the hip, a condition that erodes the cartilage and affects movement, can make even simple tasks seem daunting. It’s the most common form of arthritis, especially prevalent in the elderly, where the cartilage becomes damaged, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
When conservative treatments are no longer effective, hip replacement surgery may be the next course of action, providing pain relief and restoring mobility.
At Academy Orthopedics, we specialize in
to restore mobility and enhance your quality of life.
Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy stands out as a minimally invasive procedure that diagnoses and treats various hip conditions with less impact on the patient. Through small incisions, an arthroscope is inserted to explore and address damage within the hip joint.
Total Hip Replacement
In the realm of hip surgeries, total hip replacement surgery takes center stage as it provides a comprehensive solution for those with severely arthritic hips.
This procedure, also known as total hip arthroplasty, involves replacing both the natural ball and socket of the hip joint with prosthetic counterparts. Technological advancements have enhanced the effectiveness of total hip replacements, offering patients a greater chance at a pain-free, active lifestyle.
Outpatient Hip Replacement
Selected patients can enjoy a quick return to the comfort of their home post-procedure through outpatient hip replacement surgery. This minimally invasive option allows patients to bypass an overnight hospital stay, reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infections and accelerating the recovery process.
Hip Preservation Surgery
Hip preservation surgery is a proactive approach, aiming to maintain the natural structure of the hip joint and stave off the need for replacement. This surgical strategy is particularly beneficial for:
Hip Injury
Hip injuries can be particularly challenging for athletes, who rely on their hips for strength, stability, and flexibility. At Academy Orthopedics, we offer specialized treatments for a range of hip injuries, including
With a focus on swift and effective recovery, treatments are designed to not only repair the injury but also to prevent future issues through methods such as:
Hip Bursitis
Hip bursitis is a painful condition that results from the inflammation of the bursa, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the hip joint. This inflammation often leads to debilitating pain that can radiate to the thigh area.
Treatment for hip bursitis typically begins with non-surgical interventions such as activity modification and medication but can escalate to surgical removal of the bursa if symptoms persist.
Snapping Hip Syndrome
Snapping Hip Syndrome, characterized by an audible snap or pop during hip movement, can be both a curious and uncomfortable experience. The sensation is often the result of a muscle or tendon moving over a bony protrusion in the hip joint. While many cases are resolved with non-invasive treatments such as rest and physical therapy, persistent or painful cases may require surgical intervention to provide lasting relief.
Periprosthetic Hip Infection
Periprosthetic hip infection is a serious complication that can occur after hip replacement surgery. These infections may arise shortly after the procedure or years later and can be particularly challenging to treat. Symptoms such as pain, redness, and fever should prompt immediate medical attention, as early diagnosis and treatment greatly improve the prognosis.
Treatment typically includes antibiotics for minor infections and may progress to surgical interventions like debridement or prosthesis replacement for more severe cases.
