HIP INJURY OVERVIEW
As one of the body’s largest joints, the hip joint is used as a tool for movement as one goes forward and backward. In addition, the hip joint will rotate when sitting and changing direction while walking and running. Because it is a tool that is used predominantly for our mobility, hip pain can be felt with most movements regardless of your lifestyle.
Common Hip Conditions and Injuries
Hip Scope / Arthroscopy
Much like a knee or shoulder scope, it is a surgery that allows us to look inside the joint utilizing small incisions and instruments. We can use it to diagnose and correct problems that cause hip pain.
Hip Replacements
Total hip replacement is an advanced and effective orthopedic procedure. It treats a variety of hip conditions and injuries that cause pain and decrease hip function and quality of life. Hip pain patients are encouraged to make an appointment with a Sano Orthopedics hip specialist to find out if total hip replacement is an appropriate treatment option.
Anterior Hip Replacement
The anterior approach to total hip replacement surgery is a hip replacement technique and alternative to the traditional total hip replacement surgery. This newer technique offers many benefits, such as quicker recovery and less pain.
Hip Fractures
The major differentiation for a fracture in comparison to all of the aforementioned injuries is that a fracture signifies a break in the bone. Although typically very small, these fractures can result in a large amount of pain and potential complications.
There are several different types of fractures that a person can have, such as:
- An oblique fracture
- A stable fracture
- A compound fracture
- A comminuted fracture
- A transverse fracture
It is important to seek professional treatment for a fracture in order to set the bone properly before it begins to heal. A bone that has healed abnormally will almost certainly cause long-term pain and discomfort for the patient.
