Hip surgery – all treatments

A hip arthroscopy is a precise examination

A hip arthroscopy is a binocular operation of the hip. The surgery is used for patients with hip pain that suggests entrapment in the hip joint and patients with locking and clicking sensations in the hip joint. These symptoms may be caused by a joint effusion in the hip joint, an injury to the joint lip of the hip, synovial irritation (inflammation or synovitis) or wear and tear changes that cannot be seen on an X-ray or MRI scan.

What can you see with a hip arthroscopy?

During a hip arthroscopic surgery, the surgeon can examine the structures of the joint (cartilage, joint lip and any bony attachments of the joint socket or at the junction of the femoral head and neck). The examination allows the surgeon to check for wear and tear, irritation of the hip joint tissue (swelling of mucous membranes), assess cartilage damage and examine damage to the joint lip. If the surgeon deems it possible to treat the injury, this is done in the same procedure.

Could you be pregnant?

It is important that you tell us if you are pregnant or may be pregnant, as the X-rays used during the fluoroscopy can be harmful to the fetus. If in doubt, we recommend taking a pregnancy test.

Reasons for postponing surgery

It is important that you adhere to the fasting rules, otherwise we cannot perform the surgery. In addition, you must contact us if you become ill, are prescribed penicillin, or if you develop wounds, cuts or similar in the surgical area, as this may affect whether the surgery can be performed.

When can I return to my activities?

You can usually return to work after 4-6 weeks if you have an office-like job, but it depends on the type of hip surgery. If you have a more physically demanding job, you may need to stay off work for several months.

Cycling on an exercise bike can be resumed immediately after surgery and road cycling after 6 weeks. Running can typically be resumed after 3-4 months. Skiing, contact sports and similar activities often take 3-6 months before you can return to them.
