Hip surgery
When hip surgery is your best option, so are we
When conservative methods have failed to resolve your hip pain, hip surgery may be recommended. Penn Medicine’s orthopaedic surgeons have shaped joint replacement industry standards used by surgeons around the world and have unparalleled experience in the most advanced surgical techniques, including robotic and minimally invasive options.
From the very first time you see one of our specialists, you’ll be able to discuss the impact of hip pain on your life and personal goals. Your orthopaedic hip surgeon, along with other specialists like physical therapists and rheumatologists, will discuss the details of your case, address your concerns, and develop a fully optimized treatment plan. You’ll get a whole team involved in your care—not just one surgeon.
Types of hip surgery
Penn Medicine’s orthopaedic hip surgeons specialize in traditional open surgery and the latest minimally invasive procedures, including arthroscopic and robotic surgery, for many hip conditions.
For patients who meet specific requirements and are trying to avoid a total hip replacement, Penn Medicine surgeons offer an advanced technique called free vascularized fibular grafting (FVFG). This procedure replaces a problematic hip bone with a new bone grafted from a patient's own fibula.
