Advanced Orthopaedic Hip Care Surgical Solutions

When conservative treatments are not sufficient to alleviate hip pain or restore function, our team may recommend surgical intervention. Some of the advanced procedures we offer include:

Total Hip Replacement

For people with severe hip arthritis or irreparable joint damage, total hip replacement surgery may be recommended. Our surgeons utilize the latest techniques and prosthetic implants to restore mobility and improve quality of life.

Computer Assisted Surgery

Our surgeons utilize computer-assisted surgery techniques to ensure optimal implant placement and alignment, enhancing the long-term success of hip replacement procedures.

Robotic Surgery

Tri-City Orthopaedics is proud to offer robotic-assisted hip replacement surgery, which allows for greater precision and accuracy during the procedure, leading to improved outcomes and faster recovery times for our patients.

Hip Osteotomy

Hip osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and repositioning the bones around the hip joint to improve its alignment and function. It's often used to treat conditions like hip dysplasia or to correct deformities that may lead to hip arthritis.
