Hip pain treatments
The thigh and hip specialists at Florida Orthopaedic Institute are world-renowned for their personalized hip treatments, including the following conservative and surgical options:
Hip arthroscopy allows doctors to view the hip joint without making a large cut through the skin and other soft tissues. This surgical procedure is used to diagnose and treat a wide range of hip problems and the surrounding soft tissues. A small camera, called an arthroscope, is inserted into the hip joint, displaying images on a video monitor. Your surgeon uses these images to guide miniature surgical instruments. This minimally invasive approach results in less pain for patients, less joint stiffness, and often shortens the time it takes to recover and return to favorite activities.
Iliopsoas tenotomy is surgery on the iliopsoas tendon in the hip to reduce pain and improve range of motion. This procedure is used to treat snapping hip syndrome, also known as dancer’s hip. Snapping hip syndrome causes people to feel a snapping sensation when the hip is extended and flexed. This sensation can be accompanied by pain or discomfort that starts around the front of the hips and radiates down your thighs to the knees. Open surgery and endoscopic release (a minimally invasive approach) are the two types of surgical release of the iliopsoas tendon.
Total hip replacement with an anterior approach is a surgery done from the front of the hip. This minimally invasive procedure offers several advantages, including less damage to major muscles, less postoperative pain, faster recovery, and fewer post-surgical precautions. If you are considering hip replacement surgery, speak with a Florida Orthopaedic Institute surgeon about the potential advantages and disadvantages given your specific circumstances, such as the type of hip arthritis, anatomy, overall health and lifestyle.
Mako robotic-assisted surgery can be used to complete a total hip replacement in patients suffering from non-inflammatory or inflammatory degenerative joint disease of the hip. Mako technology provides surgeons with patient-specific 3-D models to pre-plan hip replacements. Using an individualized patient plan, surgeons guide the Mako robotic arm during surgery. Mako technology helps with the removal of diseased bone, preserving healthy bone, and assists the surgeon in positioning the total hip implant based on the patient’s anatomy.
