Hip Preservation (FAI, Labral Tear Correction) at Dr. Vijaykumar D Orthopaedics

Advanced Hip Preservation Techniques for Pain Relief and Long-Term Joint Health

Hip pain in young and active individuals is often caused by structural problems like Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) or labral tears. If left untreated, these conditions can progress to early arthritis and permanent joint damage. Hip Preservation Surgery focuses on correcting these structural issues, relieving pain, and preserving the natural hip joint for long-term function.

At the clinic of Dr. Vijaykumar D – Best Orthopaedic Surgeon in Bangalore and Former Additional Professor of Orthopaedics, AIIMS, Delhi, we specialize in advanced hip preservation procedures, combining arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques to restore hip mobility, reduce pain, and prevent degeneration.

Conditions Treated with Hip Preservation

• Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) – Abnormal bone shapes causing hip pinching and damage

• Labral Tears – Cartilage ring tears leading to pain and instability

• Hip Dysplasia – Shallow hip sockets causing abnormal stress on the joint

• Early Hip Arthritis – Structural correction to delay progression

• Post-Traumatic Hip Deformities – Malalignment following injury or fracture

• Congenital Abnormalities – Structural issues affecting hip function since birth

Common Hip Preservation Procedures

• Hip Arthroscopy – Minimally invasive surgery to repair labral tears, remove bone spurs, and smooth cartilage.

• FAI Correction Surgery – Reshaping femoral head or acetabulum to eliminate impingement.

• Labral Repair & Reconstruction – Preserving or reconstructing torn cartilage for stability.

• Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) – Correcting hip socket orientation in dysplasia.

• Cartilage Restoration in Hip – Using cell-based or biological techniques to restore joint surfaces.
