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.

Conditions We Treat

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

Treatment Options

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

Non-Surgical Care:

  • Physical therapy and targeted exercise programs
  • Pain management and anti-inflammatory treatments
  • Joint injections and regenerative therapies
  • Activity modification and lifestyle guidance

Surgical Care:

  • Total hip replacement, including minimally invasive options
  • Hip resurfacing and joint-preserving procedures
  • Fracture repair and reconstructive surgery
  • Revision surgeries for complex cases

Our goal is to restore mobility, reduce pain, and help patients return to an active, independent lifestyle.
