What is hip preservation, and how does it work?
Hip preservation is the practice of repairing the structure and restoring the function of a painful or problematic hip using various methods. Hip preservation methods help the patients get back to their physical activities. These techniques can correct anatomical problems in younger and more active people. They can also avoid early arthritis and other hip problems with hip preservation techniques.
Hip preservation can correct all types of structural abnormalities. This hip preservation technique reduces the pain, optimises function, and thus decreases the risk of degeneration of the hip joint.
Common Hip Preservation Conditions:
- Early-onset hip arthritis
- Femoroacetabular impingement
- Hip dysplasia
- Hip impingement
- Instability of the hip
- Labral Tear
