Hip Surgery
DR NM van der Berg, an Orthopaedic Surgeon does an Extensive Assessment, which involves History Taking, an Examination, and the appropriate Imaging to determine the Cause of your Pain and the Severity of the Condition. Once a Diagnosis is made and Non-Surgical Options are Not Enough, will he Consider Surgery.
The Following are Some of the Hip Surgeries Dr NM van der Berg Offers:
Total Hip Replacement
In this procedure, the damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant.
Hip Resurfacing
This procedure is Similar to a THR, but instead of replacing the entire joint, only the ball portion is replaced and the socket is reshaped.
Partial Hip Replacement
In this Procedure, only the ball portion of the hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant, while the socket remains intact.
Hip Arthroscopy
This is a minimally invasive procedure, in which a small camera and instruments are inserted into the hip joint through small incisions. It is used to treat various hip conditions such as labral tears and impingement.
Hip Dislocation Repair
This is a procedure to treat a hip dislocation. The dislocation will be manually reduced, the damaged repaired and the joint stabilized.
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) Correction
This is a procedure to reshape the bones to prevent the femur and acetabulum rubbing against each other. Thus relieving impingement.
Dr NM van der Berg always Opts for Non-Surgical Management, and will consider Surgery only if Necessary and if it can Improve your Outcome and Quality of Life.
