Hip injuries can be treated conservatively through anti-inflammatories, steroid injections and physical therapy , but it’s not always enough for your injuries to fully heal. Surgery may be an option if symptoms are interfering in your everyday activities. Orthopaedic Medical Group of Tampa Bay is here to help you navigate your hip surgery options to help you find the procedure that’s right for you!
Hip Replacement
An effective surgery option that many of our patients have successfully completed is hip replacement surgery. Total hip replacement (or hip arthroplasty) is when the surgeon removes and replaces the damaged parts of the joint to restore functionality. This surgery is often recommended for the following injuries:
- Hip arthritis
- Hip osteonecrosis
- Hip fractures
If you’re unsure of whether or not this surgery is right for you, read our guide on warning signs it’s time for a hip replacement. If you know you will be undergoing this treatment option, it may help to prepare yourself by knowing about physical therapy for hip replacement recovery.

Hip Revision
For injuries to your existing hip joint prosthetics, a hip revision can either repair or replace the damaged piece to restore function. Your surgeon can also attend to any other fractures surrounding your prosthetic during your hip revision procedure. Even if you treat your artificial joints with care, gradual wear and tear may eventually lead to your doctor suggesting this treatment option.
Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy differs from hip arthroplasty in the fact that it’s a minimally invasive procedure designed for minor damage to the hip. During a hip arthroscopy, a small incision is made near the affected area before a tube (the arthroscope) is inserted to view and repair joint injuries.
Hip arthroscopy is used to treat a wide range of injuries, including:
- Hip labral tears
- Hip impingement
- Joint infections
- Hip dysplasia
