Hip Arthroscopy

Hip and Knee Orthopedic Image

If you have chronic hip pain that is interfering with your daily life, Dr. Hill may be able to use hip arthroscopy to identify the issue and possibly treat it using a minimally-invasive procedure.

As a hip and knee specialist, Dr. Hill is able to use hip arthroscopy to fully understand the root of your hip pain and make well-informed suggestions for helping minimize or even eliminate the pain.

The Hip Arthroscopy Procedure

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure in which an endoscope (a small device with a light and lens) is inserted into the hip  joint through a small incision. This allows for an examination of the interior of a joint. Sometimes, when damage is identified it can be treated immediately by inserting small surgical devices.

  • Hospital Stay: Arthroscopy is typically performed as an out-patient procedure. However, some situations may require an overnight stay.
  • Recovery Time: Because the procedure affects such a small area in such a direct manner, often times, recovery is just a few days to a few weeks. Your recovery time will depend on the issues that are found and possibly treated during your procedure.
  • Other Notes: Arthroscopic surgery may provide you with a solution to your hip pain. However, the procedure may lead to a suggestion for further surgery or hip replacement.
