Common Hip Sports Injuries

Expert diagnosis and treatment for hip conditions affecting athletes and active individuals

🏃‍♂️

Hip Impingement (FAI)

Femoroacetabular Impingement causes hip pain in young athletes through abnormal bone contact. Early treatment prevents cartilage damage and preserves the natural hip.

Our Approach

Conservative treatment first with activity modification, advanced keyhole surgery when preservation requires it

Labral Tears

Hip labrum tears cause deep hip pain and catching sensations. Common in dancers, golfers, and athletes requiring hip rotation and flexibility.

Our Approach

Minimally invasive arthroscopic labral repair to preserve joint function and prevent future arthritis

🎯

Hip Flexor Injuries

Hip flexor strains and tears affect sprinting, kicking, and sudden direction changes. Range from minor strains to complete tendon ruptures.

Our Approach

Conservative treatment >85% effective, minimally invasive repair for complete tears and chronic cases

🔥

Trochanteric Bursitis

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome causes lateral hip pain in runners and cyclists. Often responds excellently to conservative treatment.

Our Approach

Conservative success rate >90% with targeted injections, biomechanical correction, and activity modification

Hip Cartilage Damage

Articular cartilage injuries from trauma or impingement. Early intervention prevents progression to hip arthritis.

Our Approach

Hip preservation focus with advanced arthroscopic techniques including microfracture and cartilage restoration

🏃‍♀️

Snapping Hip Syndrome

Audible hip snapping during movement, common in dancers and gymnasts. Can be external (IT band) or internal (hip flexor related).

Our Approach

Conservative treatment first with stretching protocols, keyhole release procedures when symptoms persist

Hip Preservation Through Conservative Care

Most hip conditions respond excellently to proper conservative treatment, preserving your natural hip for decades

💉

Advanced Injection Therapies

Precision-guided PRP, cortisone, and autologous protein injections directly into injured hip structures for optimal healing response and pain relief.

🏃‍♂️

Sport-Specific Rehabilitation

Customized physical therapy protocols designed for your specific sport and hip mechanics, focusing on return to full performance.

📊

Biomechanical Assessment

Comprehensive movement analysis to identify and correct faulty patterns that contribute to hip injury and prevent future problems.

⚖️

Activity Modification

Strategic training adjustments that allow tissue healing while maintaining cardiovascular fitness and preventing muscle deconditioning.

When Hip Surgery Becomes Necessary

We recommend surgery only when conservative treatment has been insufficient and hip preservation is at risk

🩹

Conservative Treatment First

Our preferred approach for most hip conditions

  • Symptoms manageable with activity modification and injections
  • Good response to physical therapy and biomechanical correction
  • Minimal structural damage visible on imaging
  • Athlete can return to sport with conservative management
  • Patient prefers to avoid surgery when possible
🔬

Surgery When Indicated

Preserving hip function through minimally invasive intervention

  • Persistent pain despite 3-6 months of conservative treatment
  • Mechanical symptoms like catching, locking, or giving way
  • Structural problems (FAI, labral tears) that won't heal naturally
  • Progressive cartilage damage requiring intervention
  • Unable to return to desired activity level with conservative care
