About Hip Arthroscopy

Many patients with hip and groin pain can benefit from Hip Arthroscopy, but unfortunately, few orthopaedic surgeons are familiar with the procedures. As a newer area of surgery, not many surgeons are qualified to teach it, and thus many orthopaedic programs do not cover it or only touch on it briefly. Hip Arthroscopy is minimally-invasive and can the solution to many conditions and problems. In the procedure, an orthopaedic surgeon uses a device called an arthroscope to examine the interior of the hip. Until recently, hip arthroscopy has often just involved looking inside the joint with a small camera and rinsing it out, a procedure called debridement. With new advances in technology, surgeons have learned ways to treat and repair a wide variety of conditions including loose bodies, labral tears, cartilage damage, bone spurs, arthritis and impingement. Dr. Hyman is an expert at the surgery and the recovery, both of which are extremely important. He has worked hard at establishing the Atlanta Center for Hip Preservation so that Georgia patients wouldn't have to travel far out of state to have these crucial procedures, and at his practice, strives to inform and educate patients about both Hip Arthroscopy and hip health.

News Health Report on a patient's successful treatment of hip pain with hip arthroscopy:

I would like to thank you sincerely for the great care that you have provided me. I am deeply grateful to both of you and all your wonderful clinic and hospital team.

Dr. Hyman diagnosed my problem right away. I had surgery a couple of months later and now after 2 years I feel like a new person.

Since Dr. Hyman operated on my left hip I’ve been able to walk better, longer, and with better ease than I could ever imagine.

I thank God every day that I had that surgery since I have finally gotten rid of the pain that has kept me awake at night for years.

I appreciate you taking the time to educate me about my injury. I also appreciate the kindness and professionalism of the entire staff at Atlanta Sports Medicine.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. For the first time in approximately a year and a half I am pain free.

I appreciate the attentive, professional care and could not envision a better experience. I truly am thankful to be under your care.
