The hip joint is one of the largest weight-bearing joints and is the point where the thigh bone (femur) and the pelvis (acetabulum) unite. It is a ball and socket joint in which the head of the femur is the ball and the pelvic acetabulum forms the socket. The area outside of the hip joint is called the “peritrochanteric space”.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge treatment for treating injuries or conditions of the hip. PRP is a concentrated portion of the patient’s own blood which has a higher concentration of platelet and vital growth factors which both help in repairing injured tissue. Additionally, platelets contain Vitamin K which plays a major role in the formation of blood clots which also help in the healing process.

Hip joint injections involve injecting medicine directly into the hip joint to diagnose the source of the pain or treat pain due to conditions which can cause inflammation in the hip such as arthritis, injury, or mechanical stress of the hip joint. Hip pain may be experienced in the hip, buttock, leg, or lower back. The injection solution is a combination of a numbing medicine (Lidocaine or Marcaine) and a cortisone (anti-inflammatory).

Hip replacement surgery is the most common orthopedic surgery performed. It involves the replacement of the damaged hip bone (ball shaped upper end of the femur) with a metal ball attached to a metal stem that is fixed into the femur and attached to the pelvic region. Traditionally, the surgery was performed with a large, open incision and required the patient to stay in the hospital for several days. With advanced techniques, it is now possible to perform these surgeries on an outpatient basis where the patient goes home on the same day.
