Hip

Whether you’re sitting, standing, walking, or bending, your hips are a fundamental component of your daily life. Connecting the thighbone to the trunk, the hip consists of a ball and socket joint that allows for a great deal of motion in a variety of directions. People of varying ages and lifestyles are susceptible to dozens of different hip conditions and diseases, including osteoarthritis and bursitis.

At Cape Fear Orthopedics, our hip specialists have devoted extensive training and research to evaluating and treating hip injuries and disorders. Technologies and procedures for care and repair of the hip have evolved significantly over the years, and the hip specialists at Cape Fear Orthopedics provide state-of-the-art surgical and nonsurgical procedures to treat an array of hip conditions. And, as a result, patients are in better hands today. Common minimally invasive hip procedures include total hip replacement and hip resurfacing.
