What Is the Hip Joint, and Why Does It Matter?

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint formed where the thigh bone (femur) meets the pelvis. It is one of the most important joints for movement, balance, and weight-bearing activities.

Surrounding the joint are several important structures:

Cartilage, which cushions and allows smooth movement
The labrum, a ring of cartilage that stabilizes the joint
Ligaments and tendons, which hold everything in place and support motion

When any of these structures are injured or degenerate, it can lead to pain, stiffness, clicking, or even joint instability.

Why Is the Hip Joint So Important for Daily Function?

Your hips are essential for:

Walking, standing, sitting, and pivoting
Maintaining your balance and posture
Transmitting forces from the upper body to the legs

Hip problems can significantly affect your quality of life, making even simple activities uncomfortable or difficult.

How Is Hip Arthroscopy Performed?

Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat a range of joint issues. Small incisions are made to insert a camera (arthroscope) and specialized tools, allowing the surgeon to visualize, clean, or repair damaged tissue.

It’s commonly used to treat:

Labral tears

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)

Loose bodies or inflammation within the joint

Advanced Techniques and Technology We Use

We use the latest, most patient-friendly technologies to improve outcomes, reduce discomfort, and speed up recovery.

Postless Hip Arthroscopy

Q-Fix Knotless Anchors

Postless Hip Arthroscopy (Formerly Known as “Pink Hip Kit”)

Traditional hip arthroscopy requires placing the patient in traction using a post between the legs. However, this can lead to nerve pressure, discomfort, and longer recovery.

We use a postless technique, which eliminates the need for this perineal post by using:

Specialized table setups
Vacuum stabilization or distraction devices
Greater patient comfort and safety
Reduced risk of complications like nerve compression or soft tissue damage
