Restoring Hip Strength and Mobility Through Surgical Expertise
The hip is one of the body’s largest and most powerful joints. When pain, stiffness, or instability limits your movement, it can interfere with walking, standing, and daily activity. Whether symptoms develop from injury or degeneration, many hip conditions require surgical treatment to restore long-term function.
At Michigan Orthopedic Center in Lansing, MI, our fellowship-trained hip surgeons perform advanced procedures to reduce pain, correct joint damage, and help you move with confidence again.
Why Timely Surgical Evaluation Can Prevent Long-Term Complications
Delaying hip care can lead to progressive joint damage and increased disability. Many patients don’t realize that cartilage loss, labral damage, or impingement can worsen without timely treatment.
Without proper intervention, patients may experience:
- Ongoing pain in the groin or thigh
- Reduced mobility that affects independence
- Worsening arthritis and joint degeneration
- Muscle weakness and instability that increases fall risk
A surgical evaluation allows us to identify the root cause and recommend treatment before the damage becomes more severe.
Conditions We Treat with Hip Surgery
Our orthopedic surgeons treat a full range of hip conditions, many of which involve structural changes that require surgical correction.
Common diagnoses include:
- Osteoarthritis – joint degeneration that causes stiffness and pain
- Labral tears – damage to the cartilage ring that stabilizes the hip socket
- Hip impingement (FAI) – abnormal bone contact that restricts movement
- Fractures – breaks caused by trauma or falls, especially in older adults
- Bursitis – inflammation that may develop from altered joint mechanics
- Tendon injuries – tears or inflammation affecting surrounding soft tissue
Our Approach to Hip Treatment at Michigan Orthopedic Center
We begin with a physical exam and advanced imaging to confirm your diagnosis. If surgery is recommended, our team offers both minimally invasive and full reconstructive procedures depending on your condition.
Common procedures include:
- Hip arthroscopy to repair labral tears or address impingement
- Hip Preservation Procedures to protect the hip before a replacement is needed
- Total hip replacement for advanced joint deterioration
- Fracture fixation to stabilize broken bones and promote healing
Signs That May Indicate a Need for Surgery
Not all hip pain is the same. You should seek a specialist’s evaluation if you experience:
- Pain in the groin, outer hip, or buttock
- Stiffness that makes it hard to bend, stand, or put on shoes
- Clicking, locking, or catching during movement
- A limp or sense of instability while walking
- Pain that limits work, exercise, or daily routines
These symptoms often signal joint damage that may worsen without surgical intervention.
In certain cases, supportive options such as physical therapy, or temporary activity changes may be offered. If surgery is performed, many patients benefit from physical therapy to support recovery and mobility under the direction of their surgeon.
