Surgical Hip Joint Repair In North Jersey

Don’t let hip pain keep you from living your life.

Hip joint anatomy is simple yet crucial. Structured like a simple ball-and-socket, the hip joint connects the femur to the pelvis and allows for smooth leg movements. When functioning properly, the hip joint not only enables basic movements and activities like walking and standing; it also provides essential structural support.

While the hip joint is mechanically simple, it is anatomically essential. When it becomes damaged due to injury or chronic disease, your quality of life can become severely impaired. For patients with injured hip joints, hip joint repair in North Jersey offers the means to restore your hip joint; and, with it, your life.

The hip specialists at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute offer world-class hip treatment options. It is our mission to advise patients toward the most effective treatment for their particular issue. That’s why we’ve compiled the following look at three common treatments for chronic hip conditions.

Three Effective Hip Joint Treatment Options for Chronic Issues

Featured below are three effective treatment options for hip joint repair in North Jersey.

1. Conservative Care
   Not all hip injuries and conditions require surgical treatment. In cases of minor or isolated injury and degenerative conditions that have not advanced beyond limited, localized damage, conservative care is often sufficiently effective. At Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, we offer a number of non-operative treatment options. Patients may be prescribed one or more of the following treatments:

   • Lifestyle alterations (such as cessation of high-impact activities or weight loss)

   • Physical therapy regimens to strengthen associated muscle and connective tissue and reduce joint inflammation

   • The use of assistive devices, such as bracing

   • Anti-inflammatory medications

   • Cortisone injections

Each conservative treatment plan is personalized to target the particular issues and symptoms you are experiencing.

2. Hip Arthroscopy
   Hip arthroscopies are advanced surgical operations. In addition to being incredibly precise, arthroscopies are minimally invasive. That’s because they use a miniature camera inserted through a small incision to visually render the interior of the hip joint or affected anatomical area. Rather than making a full, standard-size incision, the surgeon performs the operation through the small incision using the camera to guide the movement of instruments and the performance of the operation. Arthroscopic operations may be recommended as an effective method of hip joint repair in North Jersey for patients experiencing labral tears, loose bodies, hip impingement, snapping hip, articular cartilage joint injuries, synovitis, and chronic hip pain and inflammation.
   
   Rothman Orthopaedic Institute features one of the only hip arthroscopy programs in the Delaware Valley. As leaders in the field of hip arthroscopy, our surgeons not only feature the most extensive clinical experience, but have also published a large body of top research on the procedure.

3. Total Hip Replacement
   Total hip joint replacement is a major surgical operation that can produce dramatic results in terms of symptom elimination and mobility restoration. This procedure entails the removal of damaged cartilage, tissue, and bone from the affected hip joint and the installation of smoothly functional prosthetic components. This treatment is recommended for patients with hip joints that have been severely eroded by degenerative conditions such as arthritis.
   
   The hip specialists at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute have unmatched experience and expertise in performing total hip replacement operations. In fact, Rothman Orthopaedic Institute features one of the world’s highest volumes of annual hip joint replacement surgeries.
