Hip arthroscopy uses a camera and small instruments introduced through small incisions to diagnose and treat selected conditions within or around the hip joint. An open procedure provides broader surgical exposure and may be needed when the pathology or correction cannot be adequately addressed arthroscopically. The choice of an arthroscopic, open, or combined approach depends on the diagnosis, anatomy, imaging findings, extent of correction required, prior treatment, and specific procedures planned.
Fracture location, displacement, stability, patient age, bone quality, medical condition, activity level, and pre-injury function can influence the operation selected. In older adults, an unstable or displaced femoral-neck fracture is commonly treated with hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty rather than internal fixation, while intertrochanteric fractures are generally treated with fixation. Stable intertrochanteric fractures may be treated with a sliding hip screw or cephalomedullary device, whereas unstable fracture patterns often favor cephalomedullary fixation.
Yes. A postoperative limp may be associated with muscle weakness, pain, restricted motion, altered mechanics, abductor dysfunction, leg-length differences, incomplete rehabilitation, nerve-related problems, or another hip or lower-extremity condition. Physical examinations, imaging, therapy measurements, strength testing, and the progression of gait over time can help clarify the factors associated with the functional change. A limp by itself does not establish that the operation was unsuccessful.
Delayed healing, or delayed union, means that fracture healing is progressing more slowly than expected for the particular injury and clinical circumstances. Serial imaging may be interpreted with fracture alignment, fixation stability, bone quality, weight-bearing progression, medical conditions, smoking history when relevant, and the subsequent treatment course. There is no single time point that defines delayed healing for every hip fracture, and the finding alone does not establish why healing progressed slowly.
Prepares clear, well-supported expert reports outlining methodology, analysis, findings, and opinions.
Provide Deposition Testimony
Explains findings and opinions under oath and responds to questioning during deposition testimony.
Testify in Court
Presents specialized findings and opinions clearly to judges, juries, arbitrators, or other decision-makers.
Internal fixation uses devices such as screws, plates, or cephalomedullary nails to stabilize the patient’s existing bone while the fracture heals. Hemiarthroplasty replaces the damaged femoral head and neck, while total hip arthroplasty replaces both the femoral and acetabular sides of the joint with prosthetic components. Although all of these procedures may involve implanted devices, fixation preserves the native joint and relies on fracture healing, while arthroplasty replaces part or all of the damaged joint.
