Treatment Options for Hip Pain
Anterior Hip Replacement
Dr. Shore performs total hip replacement using an anterior approach with a bikini-style incision. This technique places the incision along natural skin lines, improves cosmetic appearance, and supports reliable wound healing.
Periacetabular Osteotomy
An open surgical procedure that repositions a shallow hip socket to improve stability and reduce joint damage in patients with hip dysplasia.
Arthroscopic Hip Surgery
A minimally invasive option that repairs labral tears and reshapes bone contributing to impingement.
Joint Preservation Surgery
Procedures such as arthroscopy, periacetabular osteotomy, and femoral osteotomy that aim to reduce pain and preserve the native hip joint.
Tendon Repair
Restores mobility and strength for people with gluteal or hamstring tendon tears.
Injection Therapy
Guided treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or corticosteroid injections may reduce muscle inflammation.
Sports Injury Care
Evaluation and treatment for hip injuries that occur during running, training, or competition.

INSIGHTS & EDUCATION
Articles from Dr. Shore
Hip Dysplasia
Hip dysplasia, or developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), is a condition where the hip joint doesn't form properly, ranging from shallow sockets to complete dislocation. Symptoms include groin or hip pain, and diagnosis involves medical history and X-rays. Treatments range from non-surgical options like harnesses to surgery, emphasizing early detection for better outcomes.
Hip Osteoarthritis
Manage Hip Osteoarthritis: Non-surgical treatments include weight management, therapy, medications, injections, devices, and heat therapy. Surgical options like arthroscopic debridement or total hip replacement may be needed if non-surgical methods fail. Post-surgery, rehabilitation with therapy and assistive devices aids recovery. Improve quality of life despite this chronic condition.
Hamstring Tendon Tears
Understanding Hamstring Tendon Tears: Grades, Symptoms, and Treatment: Hamstring tendon tears range from mild strains to complete muscle tears, often affecting athletes. Classified into grades based on severity, treatment involves RICE therapy initially followed by gradual exercises. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, and swelling, with prevention strategies emphasizing stretching and warming up. Seeking medical advice is crucial for proper diagnosis and management, particularly for severe or recurring injuries. Learn more about managing hamstring injuries here.
