Arthroscopic hip surgery helps but is little known.
Byline: Bob LaMendola
Every day, sports news mentions a pro athlete having arthroscopic surgery on a knee or elbow or shoulder. But on the hip? Hardly ever.
Arthroscopic hip surgery does happen, and can neatly relieve the pain of wear and tear from athletics or aging. The incisions are small and the recovery time is short.
Trouble is, it's a tricky procedure done regularly by only a handful of specialists around the nation. Doctors do not always send their injured patients to get it, even when they could.
As a result, weekend warriors, who are not in top shape and are more prone to injuries, miss out on a procedure that helps the pros.
"There's lots of undiagnosed pathology out there in people who have persistent hip pain," says Dr. Marc Philippon, who has been doing the surgery for five years, mostly at Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
"It helps the kind of injuries we often see in softball players, dancers, hockey players, golfers. These injuries are usually caused by twisting motions, over and over. It's from athletic stress but also from getting older."
