Hip arthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic hip pain in adults, particularly osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear over time. It can cause stiffness, swelling, and difficulty walking or bending. At our clinic, we offer advanced nonsurgical and surgical treatment options for hip arthritis, including physical therapy, injections, and minimally invasive and robotic hip replacement surgery.
Hip bursitis—especially trochanteric bursitis—is inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the hip joint. This condition typically causes sharp, aching pain on the outside of the hip, which may worsen with walking, climbing stairs, or sleeping on your side. We offer effective, noninvasive treatments including anti-inflammatory medications, guided injections, and personalized physical therapy plans to reduce inflammation and prevent recurrence.
The labrum is a ring of cartilage that cushions the hip joint and helps keep it stable. A labral tear can cause sharp or catching pain in the groin, stiffness, and clicking sensations. These injuries often affect athletes or those with structural hip abnormalities. We use advanced imaging and physical exams to accurately diagnose labral tears, and may recommend conservative treatment first—but if necessary, hip arthroscopy can provide lasting relief and restore joint function.
Damage to the cartilage in the hip—whether from injury, overuse, or a condition like osteochondritis dissecans—can lead to pain, swelling, and eventual joint deterioration. We use MRI and diagnostic imaging to assess cartilage damage and offer joint-preserving treatment options including biologic therapies, arthroscopic surgery, or cartilage restoration procedures when appropriate.
This condition involves a snapping or popping sensation in the hip, often caused by tendons or muscles moving over bone. While it can be harmless in some cases, snapping hip syndrome may also be associated with pain or underlying issues like tendonitis or labral tears. Our specialists evaluate the cause of your symptoms and develop a custom treatment plan that may include stretching, physical therapy, or minimally invasive procedures.
Fractures of the hip can result from sports injuries, falls, or car accidents. Treatment varies from immobilization and physical therapy to surgical intervention for complex fractures.
FAI occurs when extra bone grows along one or both bones that form the hip joint, causing them to rub against each other. This can damage the joint over time and lead to labral tears or arthritis. Common symptoms include groin pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Our orthopedic team specializes in diagnosing and treating FAI using advanced imaging and, when appropriate, minimally invasive hip surgery to reshape the joint and relieve pain.
Osteonecrosis is a condition where reduced blood flow to the hip bone leads to the death of bone tissue. Without treatment, it can progress to joint collapse and severe arthritis. Causes include injury, long-term steroid use, and certain medical conditions. We offer comprehensive care—from early-stage management with medications and activity modification to surgical solutions like core decompression or hip replacement for advanced cases.
Athletes and active individuals frequently experience overuse injuries, ligament sprains, muscle strains, and joint instability. Common sports injuries include:
✔ Hip Flexor Strain – Symptoms include sharp pain in the front of the hip, especially when lifting the leg or sprinting. Common in soccer, football, martial arts, sprinting
✔ Hip labral tears – Symptoms include groin pain, clicking or locking in the hip, decreased range of motion. Common in Hockey, ballet, golf, and any sport with twisting/pivoting.
✔ Hip Impingement – Symptoms include groin pain that worsens with activity, stiffness, clicking sensations. Common in Football, weightlifting, and ice hockey
✔ Stress Fractures – Symptoms include deep groin pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest. Common in long-distance runners, especially women with low bone density.
Our orthopedic specialists provide customized treatment plans designed to restore mobility, prevent future injuries, and optimize performance for athletes at all levels.
Techniques such as manual therapy, stretching, and resistance exercises
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen to reduce pain and inflammation
Corticosteroids (oral or injections) for significant inflammation relief
Topical pain relievers (lidocaine or capsaicin creams)
Corticosteroid injections can provide temporary relief from pain and inflammation
May be used for conditions like bursitis, arthritis
Uses a concentration of the patient’s own platelets to promote healing
Still under research but may help with tendon injuries

A hip replacement surgery, also referred to as hip arthroplasty, is the second most common joint replacement procedure, as it is closely followed by knee replacements.
It is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant, also called a hip prosthesis.
Hip replacement surgery can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi (partial) replacement. This surgery may also be a choice after a hip fracture or for severe pain because of arthritis.
Hip labral repair surgery is a procedure used to repair a torn labrum in the hip joint. The labrum is a ring of soft tissue that surrounds the socket of the hip, and a tear can cause pain, clicking, or catching in the joint. The surgery aims to stabilize the hip joint and relieve pain by repairing the torn labrum.
The repair surgery is typically performed arthroscopically, meaning small incisions are made, and specialized tools, including a camera, are used to view and repair the hip joint.
Our orthopedic specialist may remove frayed or damaged portions of the labrum, or they may use suture anchors to reattach the tear to the socket.
If the labral tear is related to hip impingement (where the bones of the hip jam together), the surgeon may also address this issue by reshaping the bones.
In some cases, if the labrum is severely damaged or cannot be repaired, a reconstruction may be performed, using either the patient’s own tissue or donor tissue.
Hip cartilage restoration involves procedures aimed at repairing or regenerating damaged cartilage, often using arthroscopic techniques. These procedures can help alleviate pain, improve mobility, and potentially delay the need for hip replacement surgery. Common methods include microfracture, drilling, abrasion arthroplasty, autograft and allograft transplantation and chondrocyte implantation.
When a tendon tears completely away from the bone (called an avulsion), surgery is often needed to restore strength and function. These injuries commonly happen at the top of the hamstring, near the pelvis. During surgery, the tendon is reattached using small anchors and any scar tissue that’s built up is removed.
This advanced, muscle-sparing surgical technique is designed to get patients back to life faster—with fewer restrictions. Unlike traditional hip replacement approaches, this method avoids cutting key muscles like the IT band. That means less post-op pain and no “hip precautions” (like avoiding bending or crossing legs).
Robotic-assisted direct superior hip replacement combines surgical precision with a minimally invasive approach. Using advanced technology, our surgeons can plan and place your implant with extreme accuracy. The result? A more personalized fit, improved joint function, and often a faster recovery. It is important to consider individual needs and circumstances before deciding on which surgery is right for each patient.
Total hip replacement (THR) is a long-lasting solution for severe arthritis and joint damage. With the direct anterior approach, the hip joint is accessed from the front—without cutting through major muscles. This minimally invasive technique helps reduce pain, shorten recovery time, and lower the risk of dislocation. During the procedure, the damaged bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with a durable implant made of metal and plastic components. Because the muscle tissue stays intact, many patients can return to walking and daily activities much sooner. We use trusted implant systems from Stryker®—known for innovation, reliability, and long-term success.
Stryker offers market-leading hip replacement implants for total hip arthroplasty including our primary and revision portfolios designed to offer you a wide variety of implants, instrumentation and muscle-sparing surgical approach options.

The Stryker® Mako™ robotic-arm assisted surgery procedure begins with a CT scan (CAT scan which means Computerized Axial Tomography) of your hip joint.
It is used to generate a 3D virtual model of unique anatomy. This virtual model is loaded into the Mako® system software and used to create your personalized preoperative plan.
During hip replacement surgery, our orthopedic hip expert guides the robotic-arm while preparing the hip socket and positions the implant based on your personalized pre-operative plan.
The Stryker® Mako™ system also allows our team to adjust your plan during the surgery as needed.
At the preparation of the bone for the hip implant, the Mako® system guides our specialist within the pre-defined area, which prevents the surgeon from moving outside the planned boundaries.
This provides a much more accurate placement and alignment of your hip joint implant.
Posterior hip replacement is a tried-and-true technique performed through an incision at the back of the hip. The surgeon moves the muscles aside to access the joint, removes the damaged bone and cartilage, and replaces them with a prosthetic joint.
This approach allows for excellent visibility of the hip joint and has been successfully used for decades. While recovery may involve some restrictions early on, many patients experience significant pain relief and improved mobility.
Posterior robotic hip replacement combines the trusted posterior approach with the advanced precision of robotic technology. The robot assists the surgeon in planning and executing your procedure with enhanced accuracy.
Smaller incisions, better implant positioning, and a more personalized approach all add up to improved outcomes and potentially quicker recovery.
Hip fracture surgery is performed to repair a break in the upper part of the thigh bone, or femur. It typically involves using metal pins, screws, rods, or plates to hold the bone fragments in place while they heal. The type of surgery chosen depends on the fracture’s severity, location, and other factors like patient age and overall health.
