No one wants to go through the hip pain and discomfort caused by that. Unfortunately 25% senior citizens are facing the hip pain over the age of 60. There are many other factors which causes hip pains like fractures, arthritis, falls. Hip preservation surgery addresses the following hip conditions:
- Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI): Extra bone growth into the hip joint causes severe pain, stiffness, and limping due to friction generated when the bones rub together.
- Hip Labrum Tear: Athletes are more prone to abrupt trauma caused due to the sport injuries. Symptoms for labral tear can be throbbing pain resonating in the hip joint.
- Snapping Hip Syndrome: This syndrome might be low painless but quite frustrating as any other pain. It is supposed to be byproduct of tightened muscles and tendons around the hip.
- Trochanteric Pain Syndrome:This syndrome might get cured with proper medication, non-surgical treatment, and few exercises. There are very less chances to have complications.
Hip preservation surgery is an advanced approach using fiber-optic cameras and micro instruments. Reasons why patients often consider hip arthroscopic surgery over more invasive hip surgery techniques are:
- Minimal Scarring
- This fastens the recovery time for patients
- The treatment is performed with smaller incisions
- Effective healing leads to smoother activity levels for athletes and patients over the age 60
