Hip

Numerous physicians at Northern Arizona Orthopaedics have devoted extensive training and research to evaluating and treating the hip joint. Damage to the bones or tissues of the hip can make walking, gardening, playing sports, or even sleeping unbearable as a result of the pain.

There are dozens of hip conditions that affect people of varying lifestyles. Baby Boomers and seniors are susceptible to osteoarthritis which is wear and tear of the hip joint that causes cartilage loss. This can require joint replacement surgery. Osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones, strikes those over 50 and can lead to hip fractures. Young athletes can suffer a cartilage tear that sidelines them for months.

Advancements in hip surgeries have resulted in significant benefits for patients. Our physicians consider the least invasive approaches to treating your pain.
