Hip Arthroscopy
Hip Arthroscopy is a highly specialized and technically
demanding procedure that should be done by surgeons with
extensive experience. Some conditions, which previously were not treated or required major open surgery, can now be performed using this technique. It is a useful diagnostic tool in investigation of hip pain.

Sports Hip Injury
Hip injuries can be divided into intra-articular (central and
peripheral compartment pathology), extra-articular (peritrochanteric space
pathology, iliopsoas pathology, and musculotendinous injuries), or central pubic
pain associated with athletic pubalgia. The most common cause for disabling
intraarticular hip pain in the athletic population is secondary to labral tears.
Currently, various hip pathology can be addressed arthroscopically
including :
labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement, traumatic hip dislocation or
subluxation, hip instability,
psoas impingement, snapping hip pathology
(internal or snapping psoas; external or snapping iliotibial band), removal of
loose bodies, cartilage injuries, injuries to the ligamentum teres, benign
tumors of the hip joint
(synovial chondromatosis, pigmented villonodular
synovitis (PVNS), and osteochondroma) and peritrochanteric
space pathology
(recalcitrant trochanteric bursitis, and gluteus medius and minimus tears).

Total Hip Replacement (THR)
Total Hip Replacement (THR) procedure replaces all or part of the hip joint with an artificial device (prosthesis) to eliminate pain and restore joint movement.

Hip Resurfacing
Hip Resurfacing or bone conserving procedure replaces the acetabulum (hip socket) and resurfaces the femoral head. This means the femoral head has some or very little bone removed and replaced with the metal component. This spares the femoral canal. Find out more about Hip Resurfacing from the following options.
