Hip preservation
Hip preservation surgery is used to relieve hip pain by reshaping the natural joint or by repairing or replacing damaged tissues. These procedures can be used instead of total hip replacements, offering another solution for hip dysplasia or arthritis.
Hip preservation surgery in Western North Carolina
Your hip is the largest joint in your body and controls some of the strongest muscles, helping support your body’s weight and allowing you to move your legs.
The muscles, cartilage, tendons and ligaments of the hip are critical for our movement, allowing us to walk, run and perform most daily activities.
