Our Philosophy
Although total hip replacement is very successful in pain relief, it cannot come close to the native hip function in active people. Hip arthroscopy and open surgical dislocation have provided opportunities for better understanding of hip disorders and for the development of biologic reconstruction options.
Hip impingement and dysplasia are now recognized as common causes of hip arthritis. Early results of surgical correction have been shown to prevent arthritis. Femoral head contour can be restored and maintained with medical management in the early stages of avascular necrosis.
Hip preservation focuses on biologic reconstruction of the hip joint with arthroscopic and open procedures to restore optimal acetabular and femoral articular surfaces and their interaction.
