Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar?

  • Deep ache in the front or side of your hip after sitting, running or climbing stairs
  • Stiffness, catching or clicking in the joint
  • Pain with each step or when lying on your side
  • Limited range of motion that makes everyday tasks hard

If any of these describe you, it’s a good time to check in with our team.


Conditions we treat

Hip impingement (FAI)
Extra bone creates too little space between the femoral neck and the hip socket rim, causing the two to rub—especially when the hip is flexed. It can lead to pain and early arthritis. Treatments range from arthroscopy (using small incisions and miniature instruments) to open surgery to reshape bone and relieve friction.

Hip bursitis
Inflammation of the bursa on the side of the hip can make every step painful. Care may include activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications or injections, and physical therapy; in severe cases, surgery may be considered.

Osteonecrosis of the hip
Reduced blood supply to the femoral head can damage bone and—even collapse the joint—causing severe symptoms. We diagnose early and discuss options, including joint preserving care or replacement when appropriate.

Hip resurfacing
An alternative for select patients—often younger—where the femoral head is “capped” with a prosthesis and an artificial socket is placed in the pelvis, preserving more natural bone than a full replacement.

Total hip replacement
If hip pain and stiffness persist despite medications and limit daily walking, replacement can offer lasting relief. Damaged ball and socket joint surfaces are replaced with modern materials chosen for your age and activity level. Today’s techniques use smaller incisions with less intrusion compared to decades past.

What to expect at your visit

  • Preop exercises: Starting early helps recovery.
  • Dental visit: Aim for a checkup within six months of surgery.
  • Medications: You may be asked to pause certain meds (e.g., aspirin, some anti-inflammatories, fish oil, vitamin E, blood thinners) several days before surgery; follow your clinician’s exact instructions.
  • Skin prep: Use the provided CHG soap the night before and morning of surgery.
  • Eating & drinking: Nothing after midnight; take morning meds with small sips of water unless told otherwise.
  • Support: Identify a coach to help with transportation and recovery day of and after discharge.

What to expect after a procedure

  • Know the signs of infection (e.g., increasing redness, drainage changes, pain, fever >102°F).
  • Learn blood clot symptoms (e.g., swelling that doesn’t improve with elevation, calf/groin tenderness) and when to seek emergency care for possible pulmonary embolus (sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, sweating, confusion).
  • Prevent clots with ankle pumps, walking, arm/hand exercises, and prescribed medications as directed.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I need surgery?

If pain and stiffness persist despite medications and limit walking or daily activities, surgical options like arthroscopy, resurfacing or replacement may be considered. Your orthopedic specialist will review imaging, exam findings and your goals to recommend a plan.

What is arthroscopy?

A minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and miniature instruments to reshape bone or repair tissues, often used in hip impingement care.

Is hip resurfacing the same as replacement

Resurfacing caps the femoral head and preserves more bone; replacement removes the femoral head and places a new ball and socket. Your age, activity level and anatomy help determine the best option.

What can I do now to help my hips?

Keep moving gently, change positions often, and take breaks from prolonged sitting or desk work to avoid stiffness—then schedule an evaluation to get a personalized plan.
