Hip surgery may be a solution for patients in Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg, FL, who are experiencing chronic pain in the hip, groin, or pelvic area, especially if the level of discomfort limits the ability to perform everyday activities. Depending on the severity of the pain, some patients may not be able to walk, climb stairs, or even stand up from a seated position as easily as they once could.
Hip surgery is usually considered only after conservative treatments, such as cortisone injections, prove to be ineffective for providing adequate pain relief. The team of orthopaedic experts at Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine is experienced in treating many different hip conditions for patients in the Tampa Bay area, including:
- Fractures
- Strains
- Dislocations
- Osteoarthritis
- Bursitis
- Labral tears
- And more
If the pain persists despite non-surgical treatment, our Board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, Daniel Murphy, M.D., can evaluate the patient to determine whether arthroscopic hip surgery or a total hip replacement is appropriate. For patients who decide to proceed with surgical intervention, our Board-certified sports medicine doctor, Arnold Ramirez, M.D., can assist with creating a personal rehabilitation and physical therapy regimen to promote a quick and proper recovery.
