Getting fitted with a completely new hip joint through a small incision may seem like science fiction, but this is possible today thanks to the significant advances in medical science and technology. When performed by a well-trained and experienced surgeon, the benefits of undergoing minimally invasive hip replacement are numerous:
Robotic surgery or robot-assisted surgery is the use of cutting-edge robotic systems controlled by a skilled surgeon to perform surgical procedures. These advanced systems provide the surgeon with a high degree of stability, precision, and control. Several orthopedic procedures such as joint replacement can now be done using robotic technology.
Hip arthroscopy is a cutting-edge procedure which allows your doctor to look inside your hip with a miniaturized camera inserted through a small poke-hole incision. Repair of torn or injured structures as well as removal of bone fragments, scar tissue and debris from within the hip joint also be possible using this procedure.
Are you considering surgery for your nagging hip pain? Have conservative treatments not provided enough relief? Maybe you should consider Regenerative Medicine. This innovative and advanced treatment enhances the body’s natural capacity to heal and is providing remarkable solutions for all types of joint pain.
Hip pain can make simple tasks such as picking up objects or climbing stairs difficult. Once the pain gets to a point that your quality of life is significantly affected, you should seek professional medical help. Your doctor will discuss suitable treatment options based on a physical evaluation.
The fall in temperature during the winter usually leads to increased pain and stiffness in your joints especially if you have a pre-existing orthopedic injury or arthritis. You might be tempted to limit your body movements and forego any type of physical activity during this time. However, inactivity contributes to weight gain, worsening joint pain, and winter blues.
Few sports can generate the kind of passion that football does. The strategizing to create the perfect game plan, the speed of play, and the sheer size of the players can create edge-of-the-seat excitement second to none. Due to the physical nature of the game, football does have its fair share of injures right from minor sprains, strains, torn ligaments and tendons to more severe fractures, concussions, and spine injuries.

Bones are living tissues that are constantly changing their structure and composition. As we grow, old bone is constantly being resorbed and new bone formed. By the age of 30, new bone formation begins to slow down resulting in thinning of bone and stiffness in the joints.
Baseball players are susceptible to a wide range of injuries during the game. These include
acute injuries such as ligament and tendon tears that can occur while running as well as overuse injuries of the pitching arm such as rotator cuff tendonitis or elbow tendonitis.
