Physicians offering hip replacement surgery:
Hip replacement, or hip arthroscopy, is a surgical procedure to treat chronic hip pain that results from injuries or degenerative disease.
The goal of hip replacement surgery is to replace damaged parts of your hip joint with an artificial ball and socket device. The new joint structure works like your natural joint to improve the function in your hip and provide long-term relief of pain.
You may be a candidate for a hip replacement if you have advanced osteoarthritis, a wear-and-tear disease that breaks down the structure of your joints.
You may also need hip replacement surgery to address severe hip fractures or deformities that aren’t treatable with conservative therapies.
A hip replacement can alleviate chronic hip pain and improve the overall function in your hip joint, so you can stay physically active.
At Premier Orthopedic Specialists of Tulsa, we can determine if hip replacement surgery is right for you after a comprehensive physical exam. We may use on-site X-rays or other diagnostic technologies to evaluate your hip joint before recommending surgery.
Premier Orthopedic Specialists of Tulsa offers several options for hip replacement. We offer minimally invasive approaches including both andterior and posterior approaches. All of our surgeons believe in minimizing soft tissue damage and expediting recovery as fast as possible to get you back to everyday activities.
Our surgeons might also offer reconstruction surgery to repair damage to the joint bone and surrounding soft tissues.
During surgery, our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to access your hip joint. These techniques require only small incisions to reduce your risks of bleeding and infection. Smaller incisions also help you heal faster than you might with traditional surgery.
After replacing or reconstructing your hip joint, our surgeons will customize an aftercare plan to help you recover. They may recommend physical therapy to restore the function of your hip joint, as well as a walker or cane to help you stand and walk soon after your surgery.
