OrthoCarolina’s Hip specialists provide expert care for patients with hip pain, arthritis, injuries, and complex joint conditions. Our nationally recognized surgeons combine years of experience with advanced techniques to preserve hip function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.
From initial evaluation to recovery, we guide patients through a personalized care plan, offering both non-surgical and surgical options tailored to each individual.

Our team treats a wide range of hip conditions, including:
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other degenerative joint diseases
- Hip pain & labral tears: Pain from overuse, injury, or structural problems
- Fractures & trauma: Hip fractures and other acute injuries
- Congenital or developmental issues: Dysplasia, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, and other structural conditions
- Avascular necrosis: Loss of blood supply to the hip joint leading to degeneration

We tailor treatment plans to each patient, offering both non-surgical and surgical interventions:
Non-Surgical Care:

- Joint injections and regenerative therapies
- Activity modification and lifestyle guidance
Surgical Care:
