Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a hip joint disorder caused by abnormal contact between the head of the femur and the rim of the acetabulum. This repeated friction can cause damage to the labrum and articular cartilage, leading to progressive degeneration of the joint and even the development of early osteoarthritis.

This condition is characterized by the presence of symptoms such as pain in the groin, hip or buttocks, stiffness, clicking or a feeling of locking in the hip joint.

Femoroacetabular impingement can present in different forms, such as cam, pincer or mixed types.

Treatment for femoroacetabular impingement will depend on the severity of the case and will include physical therapy, adjustments in physical activity, anti-inflammatory medication, or, in advanced cases, surgery to correct bone deformities and relieve symptoms.

Hip osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that affects the articular cartilage of the hip, causing pain, inflammation and limitation of movement.

This condition can manifest with symptoms such as deep hip pain, stiffness, difficulty walking or climbing stairs, and a decrease in quality of life.

Hip osteoarthritis can have different causes, such as natural wear and tear due to aging, previous injuries or genetic factors.

Treatment for hip osteoarthritis may involve lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and a healthy diet, appropriate exercise to strengthen the muscles that support the hip joint, and medication to control pain and inflammation. In more severe cases, hip replacement surgery may also be considered to improve function and relieve pain.

Trochanteric bursitis, also known as trochanteritis, is an inflammation of the bursa located on the lateral side of the hip, just above the greater trochanter of the femur. This structure acts as a cushion that reduces friction between bones and soft tissues during movement.

This condition typically causes pain on the side of the hip and difficulty sleeping on your side. Common symptoms of trochanteric bursitis include stabbing pain in the hip, tenderness, difficulty walking or climbing stairs, and may worsen when lying on the affected side.

Treatment for this condition may include rest, application of hot or cold compresses, anti-inflammatory medications to reduce inflammation and pain, physical therapy to strengthen the muscles surrounding the hip joint and improve its stability, as well as consideration of infiltrations of corticosteroids to relieve inflammation and pain in more severe cases.

Snapping hip is a joint disorder that manifests as an audible or palpable snap when moving the hip, such as when getting up from a chair or performing repetitive flexion, extension, or rotation movements. This "snapping" sensation is usually due to a tendon or muscle slipping over a bony prominence.

Common symptoms of snapping hip include pain in the front or side of the hip, a catching or clicking sensation when flexing or extending the hip, and stiffness in the joint.

Treatment for this condition may include physical therapy to strengthen the muscles surrounding the hip and improve joint stability, and modifications to physical activity and movements that trigger symptoms.

In more severe cases, surgery is considered to release trapped tissue and relieve symptoms.

Pubalgia, also known as symphysis pubis pain, is a condition that causes pain in the groin region and lower abdomen, especially during physical activities such as running, jumping, or changing direction.

Common symptoms of pubalgia include pain in the groin that radiates to the genitals, weakness in the abdominal and hip adductor muscles, and difficulty performing physical activities.

Treatment for this condition may include rest to allow the affected tissues to heal, physical therapy to strengthen the abdominal and hip muscles, and medication to control pain and inflammation. In more severe cases, surgery will be considered to repair damaged tissues.

Osteonecrosis of the hip is a condition in which there is a lack of blood flow to the bone in the head of the femur, resulting in the death of bone tissue and collapse of the joint.

Common symptoms of osteonecrosis of the hip include deep hip pain, stiffness, difficulty walking, and limitation of movement.

This condition can be caused by trauma, long-term steroid use, excessive alcohol consumption, or diseases such as lupus or Gaucher disease.

Treatment for osteonecrosis of the hip may include physical therapy to improve mobility and strengthen the muscles that support the joint, the use of pain control medications, limiting weight bearing, and consideration of surgery in more cases. advanced to replace the hip joint and restore its function.

The intervention is performed using general or epidural anesthesia, first performing leg traction through which the tension is reduced to a maximum.

The specialist trauma doctor A small incision will be made through which the arthroscope, a camera that allows you to view the hip joint completely. In addition, several millimeter incisions will be made for the surgical procedure.

The right time to make a arthroplasty or hip replacement It will be when the pain in the patient's hip is unbearable, and the physical therapy methods or medications used previously have not helped.

Normally hip fractures are attempted to be repaired, but there are certain fractures located at the upper end of the femur which make it necessary to apply a hip prosthesis to the patient, since there may be a lack of irrigation in the area.

Our team of hip fracture specialists will perform a complete medical examination of the patient to apply the most appropriate prosthesis. There are different types of prostheses hip, each indicated for a specific clinical case:

Total hip prosthesis

Also known as "total hip arthroplasty." This method consists of removing damaged bone and cartilage, replacing them with normally metal components that fulfill the same function. It is usually applied in cases of joint osteoarthritis.

Partial hip prosthesis

In this case, the femoral head articulates directly against the pelvis. Unlike a total aortic aorta, only the femoral head is replaced, leaving the acetabular cavity of the pelvis intact.

This type of surgery is used in cases of fractures in people with little physical activity.

Hip revision prosthesis

This hip operation is performed to replace another prosthesis that is causing complications, and may be partial or total.
