Do You have any questions?
F.A.Q
Why does my hip hurt?
Hip pain often comes from arthritis, labral tears, bursitis, or muscle and tendon injuries.
How do I know if I need a hip replacement?
 If pain interferes with walking, daily activities, or sleep and non-surgical care no longer helps, then hip replacement may be the right option.
What’s special about anterior hip replacement?
 It avoids cutting major muscles, which can mean less pain and a faster return to daily activities.
Can hip pain be treated without surgery?
 Yes. Physical therapy, medications, lifestyle changes, and hip injections or arthroscopy may relieve symptoms before surgery is considered.
