Hip arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure that allows an orthopedic surgeon to examine and a patient’s hip using a small camera attached to an instrument called an arthroscope. It can be a great solution to many hip conditions and problems that plague the hip joints. Although arthroscopic hip surgery is a growing area of orthopedic surgery, many doctors possess only a limited familiarity with the surgery or the conditions it treats. As a regional pioneer of hip arthroscopy in Atlanta, Dr. Hyman, teaches physical therapists and surgeons locally, nationally and internationally. Dr. Hyman is one of the only orthopedic surgeons in the southeastern United States with expertise in advanced hip arthroscopy.

Dr. Hyman co-founded the Hip Arthroscopy Center at Emory Adventist Hospital and established the Atlanta Center for Hip Preservation, an entity dedicated to providing the community with access to state-of-the-art hip arthroscopy techniques. Dr. Hyman first performed hip arthroscopy in the late 1990’s. He has the unique distinction of having trained with multiple other pioneers in the field: Dr. Marc Philippon, Dr. Thomas Byrd and Dr. Bryan Kelly. He was also educated at the #1 institutions in the country: Harvard Medical School and the Hospital for Special Surgery. Dr. Hyman is a member of the International Society of Hip Arthroscopy. He makes it a priority to keep up-to-date on the latest advances in hip arthroscopy and improved patient outcomes. While serving as the Medical Director for the Hip Arthroscopy Center of Excellence, he pioneered several research initiatives and developed expertise in re-doing hip arthroscopic surgeries done elsewhere.
