Your hips play a critical role in nearly every movement your body makes—supporting
your upper body, enabling leg mobility, and maintaining balance. Over
time, injury, arthritis, or simple wear and tear can lead to hip pain,
stiffness, and reduced function.
At Baxter Health, our orthopedic team includes some of the most well-trained
and experienced orthopedists in the region. With a reputation for excellence
and a commitment to personalized care, we work closely with each patient
to diagnose the source of discomfort and design a treatment plan that
meets their individual needs.
A Solution That Meets Your Needs
At Baxter Health, it is our practice to provide patients alternative treatments
to surgery unless their condition absolutely requires it. Bone and muscle
conditions can often be relieved with less invasive methods such as:
Medication management
Physical therapy
Pain management and joint injections
Guided exercise
Integrative medicine and lifestyle support
These methods are designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and slow joint
degeneration, often helping patients delay or avoid the need for surgery.
When Surgery Is the Best Option
If it's determined that hip replacement surgery is the most effective solution
for your condition, you can trust Baxter Health to deliver expert care
using the latest in surgical innovation. Our team uses state-of-the-art
technology and advanced implant materials to ensure the procedure is as
safe, precise, and minimally invasive as possible. Our
joint replacement care team looks after patients through every stage of their operation,
including the post-op rehabilitation phase.
You'll also benefit from a comprehensive joint replacement care plan, which includes:
Pre-surgical education and preparation
Advanced surgical techniques
Post-operative rehabilitation and physical therapy
Ongoing follow-up care to support long-term success
Ball-and-Socket Joint
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the head of the femur articulates
with the cuplike acetabulum of the pelvic bone.
The head of the femur and the socket are covered with a layer of smooth
cartilage which cushions the joint, and allows the bones to move on each
other with very little friction.
