Hip preservation surgery

Hip Preservation Surgery

Preserving your natural hip is a priority, especially in young and active patients who wish to avoid or delay hip replacement. I offer advanced hip preservation surgery to address underlying deformities and protect the native joint.
Understanding hip pain, surgery and recovery

Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) Treatment

FAI causes painful friction between the femoral head and the acetabulum. Using a combination of hip arthroscopy and other techniques, I can reshape the hip joint and repair labral tears through a minimally invasive approach, reducing pain and preventing cartilage damage that could lead to early arthritis.

Hip Dysplasia Treatment and Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO)

Hip dysplasia occurs when the hip socket is too shallow, causing instability and pain. A PAO (periacetabular osteotomy) repositions the socket to provide better coverage of the femoral head, protecting cartilage and delaying arthritis progression. This treatment can help patients preserve their natural hip joint for many years.

Surgical Hip Dislocation

For complex conditions like cartilage defects or complex deformities, surgical dislocation of the hip offers complete visualization of the joint while preserving its blood supply. This technique allows precise correction of structural problems and cartilage repair, ensuring a stable and functional hip.
