Hip surgery options

Hip arthroscopy

This is a form of minimally invasive surgery that enables a surgeon to assess the condition of the hip joint, and then diagnose and potentially treat hip injuries and disease. A telescope-like device, known as an arthroscope and which is inserted through small incisions, is used to view the hip joint.

When is hip arthroscopy required ?

Patients who are at risk of developing arthritis in the hip joints will benefit from this procedure. This is because it can assist in the early detection and treatment of osteoarthritis, and potentially prevent or delay its development.

This form of surgery can also be used to treat hip conditions that lead to groin pain, including labral tears and lateral (pain on the side of the hip) hip pain.

Hip replacement surgery

Hip replacement surgery is a safe and effective surgical procedure for reducing hip pain and restoring mobility. In simple terms, it involves a surgeon replacing a damaged or worn away hip joint, usually the result of osteoarthritis or injury.

How successful is hip replacement?

Replacement hip surgery has proven to be successful in enhancing a recipient’s quality of life in 95% of cases.

Minimally invasive surgery

Hip surgery can be performed in different ways depending on an individual’s circumstances and needs. A Minimally Invasive Surgical approach (MIS) to total hip replacement involves the surgeon making a reduced incision, which helps to preserve muscles and tendons attached to the hip joint. This also means that minimally invasive surgery procedures facilitate faster recovery.

Am I suitable for minimally invasive hip replacement?

Your hip surgeon will discuss with you whether you are suitable for undergoing minimally invasive hip replacement, and talk you through the full surgical procedure in more detail if required.

Hip fracture treatments

A hip fracture is defined as a break in the upper part of the thigh bone (known as the femur). It is most often the result of a fall or a blow to the hip bone, although in some extreme cases a hip fracture can occur when a patient twists a leg while standing.

What sort of treatment plan does a hip fracture require?

Diagnosis of a hip fracture will usually require a radiological assessment. The type of hip surgery procedures required to treat these sort of injuries will be determined by an Melbourne orthopaedic surgeon depending on the severity of the break.

Hip injection

Arthritis of the knee or hip and trochanteric bursitis occur relatively frequently, and can result in persistent pain, limited mobility and reduced quality of life. There are a range of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options for hip and knee osteoarthritis and trochanteric bursitis.

Are non-surgical treatments an option?

The former include injections to reduce the hip pain associated with osteoarthritis. Non-surgical options include cooled radiofrequency (RF) treatment, which is minimally invasive and generally provides long lasting and effective pain relief for patients with hip and knee pain and arthritis. This treatment is also useful of resistant cases of trochanteric bursitis.
