It’s easy to take our hips for granted, but stiffness and pain can sideline you from your favorite activities or everyday tasks. Our team of experts understands that hip pain and joint pain can significantly impact your quality of life and may affect your ability to perform daily activities, limit your mobility, and reduce your overall well-being. These conditions can make it difficult to walk or sleep comfortably, further disrupting your routine.
The first step is a thorough assessment, where our team will evaluate the severity of your hip condition, explore non-surgical interventional treatment options, and determine your suitability for surgery if necessary. Before recommending surgical intervention, we carefully consider all risk factors that could affect your outcome. We always begin with non-surgical options before considering surgery, and discuss hip preservation strategies before a full joint replacement.

Relieve Hip Pain: Expert Care for Arthritis, Joint Replacement, and Hip Health
Maintaining healthy hips is essential for staying active and independent, whether you’re walking, climbing stairs, or simply enjoying your favorite hobbies. The hip joint, a marvel of engineering, connects the thigh bone (femur) to the hip socket (acetabulum) and is cushioned by smooth cartilage that allows for pain-free motion and flexibility. When the hip joint is healthy, it supports your body’s weight and enables a wide range of daily activities without discomfort.
Unfortunately, hip pain and joint pain are common issues that can significantly impact your quality of life. Conditions like hip arthritis can lead to osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease), causing the cartilage to wear down and resulting in stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. As the condition progresses, even simple movements can become challenging.
For patients facing persistent hip pain or advanced hip arthritis, hip replacement surgery, including total hip replacement, offers a life changing solution. At Panorama Orthopedics, our team of orthopedic surgeons and specialists has extensive experience evaluating hip conditions and performing hip replacement surgery, including hip replacement options with less pain and faster recovery, to help patients restore mobility and return to daily life. Whether you are managing the early stages of arthritis or preparing for hip replacement surgery, we are dedicated to providing treatment options that protect your hip health and support your overall well being.
Hip Anatomy and Function
The hip joint is one of the largest and most important joints in the body, designed to provide both stability and a remarkable range of motion. It’s classified as a ball-and-socket joint, where the rounded head of the thigh bone (femur) fits securely into the cup-shaped hip socket (acetabulum) of the pelvis. This unique structure allows you to move your leg forward, backward, and side to side with ease.
A layer of smooth cartilage covers both the ball and the socket, acting as a cushion to reduce friction and absorb shock during movement. Surrounding the joint are strong muscles, tendons, and ligaments that work together to support your body and keep the hip stable during activity.
However, the hip joint can be affected by a variety of conditions. Hip arthritis, including osteoarthritis, can cause the cartilage to break down, leading to pain and stiffness. Understanding the anatomy and function of the hip is the first step in recognizing when something isn’t right and seeking appropriate treatment to maintain your mobility and quality of life.
