Hip & Knee Surgery

Conditions Treated

The hip or pelvic region is an intricate component of the skeleton, delivering posture, stability, flexibility, and a wide variety of movements. Your hips and knees bear the full weight of your upper body and transfer it to your lower limbs (legs and feet) in a very stable manner. Like any other bone or joint, the hip bones and joint bear tons of stress, and sometimes this stress can lead to injuries.

Even though the hip is durable, it isn’t indestructible. Common causes of hip and knee pain include arthritis, bursitis (inflammation of the fluid cavity in the joint), tendonitis, and fractures.

Hip

Our hip surgeons are experts in diagnosing and treating a variety of conditions associated with the hip and pelvic bones, including:

  • Abnormalities and congenital deformities
