Regain your mobility with expert hip care

Healthy hips make an active life possible, but hip injuries can slow you down at work, home and in pursuit of your goals and favorite pastimes. You don’t need to accept hip pain as part of your future. At orthopedic specialty centers across North and Central Texas, you’ll find Baylor Scott & White orthopedic experts ready to help you, using nonsurgical treatments whenever possible and advanced procedures when needed.

When seeking to solve a stubborn problem like hip pain, it’s nice to have several potential solutions to choose from. That’s why our team offers a wide range of treatments for hip injuries. Our orthopedic surgeons take the time to gain a deep understanding of your injury and goals so they can recommend the treatments that best fit your needs.

Our approach to hip care

You can trust that your journey through diagnosis and treatment will be personalized to you. After a thorough diagnostic evaluation, our experts will design a treatment plan that’s unique to your condition, lifestyle and goals for care. Oftentimes, imaging such as X-rays, CT scans and MRI scans may be needed.

Your plan will likely start with nonsurgical treatments, which may be all you need to manage hip pain and get back to the activities that matter most to you. If those treatments aren’t successful, you’ll have access to many types of hip surgery, including minimally invasive procedures with small incisions that can help you return to your regular activities faster.

  • Commitment to conservative care

    Our goal is to find the least invasive treatment that will be effective for your hip pain. As a result, your treatment will start conservatively and progress to less conservative options as needed.

    Fortunately, our orthopedic surgeons have a large toolkit of nonsurgical treatments to use. Your physician may recommend a program of rest, ice, compression and elevation that you can follow at home, as well as exercises to strengthen muscles around your hip. For pain relief, your physician may prescribe over-the-counter or prescription medications or selective injections into the joint.

    Physical therapy offers another potential solution for hip injuries. Our physical therapists can teach you exercises you can perform at home to boost your hip’s strength and range of motion long after therapy ends.

  • Precision surgeries

    Not all hip injuries respond to nonsurgical treatments. If your symptoms continue after trying conservative therapies, surgery may be the best next step. At Baylor Scott & White, you’ll find a skilled team of orthopedic surgeons offering the full range of hip procedures, from hip arthroscopy, open hip preservation procedures and decompression, to advanced cartilage transplantation and joint reconstruction and replacement surgeries.

    Our surgeons use the latest techniques and technologies to maximize precision and minimize surgery’s impact on you. Whenever possible, we operate using minimally invasive techniques that produce little scarring and shorten hospital stays and recovery times. We offer minimally invasive total hip replacement and hip reconstruction procedures. In some cases, our surgeons use robotic technology to help plan or perform procedures, which allows them to be precise in complex hip surgeries.

  • Care that’s tailored to you

    When you seek care for a hip injury, you likely have a specific goal in mind. It might be getting back to hiking, being able to kick a soccer ball around with your child again or simply not hurting when you walk to the mailbox. From your orthopedic surgeon to your nurses and physical therapists, everyone on your Baylor Scott & White care team will work together to help you achieve your goal.

    Our team’s job is to find what works for you—not just a treatment that will relieve symptoms, but also one that will help you enjoy the quality of life you want. To do that, we’ll get to know you so we can personalize your care. Together, we’ll discuss your treatment options and help you choose what makes sense for you.

  • Support at every step

    No matter what your journey with hip care entails, you won’t walk the path alone. If you need hip replacement surgery, your team will help prepare you for success. This process starts before surgery. You’ll attend a class to learn how to prepare yourself and your home for surgery and what to expect from the procedure. After surgery, you’ll follow a personalized rehabilitation plan to help you rebuild strength and functional abilities so you can get back to an active life.
