When that happens, you can rely on the skilled orthopedic specialists at Baxter Health to provide you with the care and assistance you need. Our orthopedic team includes some of the most well-trained and experienced orthopedists in the region. The level of personal attention they provide patients creates a comfortable relationship that makes it easy for patients to discuss their problems and find a solution.

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the head of the femur articulates with the cuplike acetabulum of the pelvic bone.
