Hip & Pelvis Conditions and Procedures

Gradual breakdown of the cartilage cushioning the hip joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Treatment ranges from non-surgical care to hip replacement surgery.

Surgical replacement of a severely damaged hip joint with prosthetic components to relieve pain and restore function. Aimed at helping patients return to everyday activities.

Alternative to total hip replacement that reshapes and caps the femoral head rather than removing it. Preserves more natural bone and may suit select younger, active patients.

Surgery to replace or repair a previous hip replacement affected by wear, loosening, instability, or infection. A more complex procedure tailored to each patient's individual joint condition.

Inflammation of the cushioning sac over the outer hip, causing pain with walking or lying on the affected side. Usually resolves with rest, physiotherapy, and injections.

Surgical repair of torn hip abductor tendons, which help stabilise the pelvis during walking. Recommended when pain and weakness persist despite non-surgical treatment.

Tear of the cartilage ring stabilising the hip socket, often linked to impingement or hip dysplasia. Treatment ranges from physiotherapy to arthroscopic repair.

Abnormal contact between the hip bones during movement, caused by extra bone on the femoral head or socket. Can lead to joint damage over time if left untreated.

Condition where the hip socket does not fully cover the femoral head, present from birth or developing during growth. Can lead to instability and early arthritis if untreated.
