Hip Replacement Surgery from a Board-Certified Physician near St. Petersburg, FL

Hip replacement St. Petersburg FL The latest advances in hip replacement surgery are available at Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group – a division of Florida Medical Clinic located a short drive from St. Petersburg, Florida. If you have dealt with debilitating hip pain for years and have not found relief through conservative treatment methods, consider speaking with our board-certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Daniel Murphy, about your treatment options.

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that includes the head of the femur bone (the “ball”) and the acetabulum (the “socket”), which is part of the pelvic bone. Both of these components feature a cushioning layer of cartilage that allows for smooth, easy motion as we walk. Traumatic injuries, osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, and other degenerative conditions can cause this cartilage to deteriorate, potentially leading to intense pain and stiffness that many conservative treatments cannot improve. In these instances, hip replacement surgery may be recommended.

Hip replacement surgery entails removing the worn components of the hip joint and replacing them with prostheses, or implants, to restore natural motion. At, Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group near St. Petersburg, Dr. Murphy uses the innovative Stryker® Accolade system of implants to provide optimum fit, stability, and longevity. Our team also provides post-surgical physical therapy services.

Contact Tampa Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Group near St. Petersburg, FL, to schedule an appointment with Dr. Murphy, who will carefully evaluate your condition and determine if you are a candidate for hip replacement surgery. In the event that joint replacement is not recommended, we offer physical therapy, regenerative medicines, and other innovative therapies to help you effectively overcome your hip pain.
