Hip injuries and conditions

Whether from a fall, arthritis or overuse injuries, hip pain can make it difficult to walk and reduce the quality of life. The hip is the most flexible free-moving joint in the body. It can move backward and forwards, from side-to-side, and can perform twisting motions. Dr. Roberson is trained to diagnose causes of hip pain and treat minor injuries.

Hip Impingement

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), also referred to as hip impingement, is when extra bone grows along one or both of the bones that form the hip joint. The bones begin to rub against each other causing pain and damage to the joint.

Hip Arthroscopy

Hip arthroscopies are a common surgical procedure that helps treat a large number of hip injuries and conditions. It allows orthopedic surgeons to assess and view the hip injury by making a small incision into the skin and tissue and determining the best treatment option for patients.

Hip Bursitis

Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa, which is a small jelly-like sac that are throughout the entire body. Bursitis is common in the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and heel. Bursae act as cushion and reduce friction between bones and soft tissue.

Hip Popping

Snapping hip syndrome is when you feel a snapping sensation or a popping sound in your hip when you walk, get up from a chair or swing your leg in a circular way.
