Hip Preservation

Open Hip Surgery




It is an open surgical procedure used to treat larger deformities or conditions that are not amenable to hip arthroscopy

Safe Surgical Dislocation of Hip

The hip joint is deep and hard to access through the variety of muscles and tissues that surround and support it. Safe Surgical Hip dislocation allows surgeons wider access to the hip joint to perform certain procedures including labral repairs, femoral osteochondroplasty, and osteotomies.

This reduces the chances of AVN of the hip following open hip procedures

Indications for Open hip surgery


  •   Labral tears (damage to the labrum, which acts like a cartilage cuff around the hip socket)
  •   Surface cartilage (articular cartilage) damage
  •   Femoroacetabular impingement deformities(Cam and Pincer Deformitites)
  •   Femoral head fractures
  •   Perthes Deformities
  •   Dysplasia
