Shore Hip & Joint: Brett Shore, MD Hip Surgeon
How We Care for You
Every case follows the same flow, from a careful conversation to a plan, treatment, and thorough follow-up.
We Get the Full Picture
We start with your symptoms and history, because that’s what tells us where to look first.
We Walk You Through the Imaging
We put your X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on screen and show you exactly what’s damaged.
We Match Treatment to the Diagnosis
The diagnosis helps us decide whether you need therapy, an injection, or surgery, so we treat the actual problem.
We Follow Your Recovery Closely
We give you a recovery plan with set milestones and follow-up visits that track your progress.
Stop Hip Pain From Controlling Your Days
Hip pain has a way of touching everything you do. It cuts your beach walk short and turns a simple bend into a wince.
Roll onto that side at night, and it wakes you up. Sit too long, and the groin starts to throb.
Most folks quietly drop their workouts and hope the ache fades. Dr. Shore finds what’s causing it and treats that directly.
Hip Conditions Treated in Laguna Beach
Dr. Shore treats the full range of hip and sports-related problems.
Treatment Options for Your Hip
Anterior Total Hip Replacement
Dr. Shore reaches the joint from the front and works between the muscles instead of cutting through them. Patients often get back on their feet sooner.
Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO)
Repositions a shallow socket in younger patients. PAO restores coverage over the ball and slows arthritis.
Arthroscopic Hip Surgery
Through small incisions, he clears bone spurs and repairs labral tears. The healthy tissue around the joint stays intact.
Partial Hip Replacement
Replaces only the worn part of the joint. The healthy portions stay right where they are.
Hip Preservation Surgery
Joint-saving work like PAO and arthroscopy can push back the day a full replacement becomes necessary.
Reconstructive Hip Surgery
Dr. Shore corrects structural and soft-tissue problems in complex hip cases. He doesn’t perform revision total hip replacements.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Care includes physical therapy, anti-inflammatory and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, activity changes, and weight management.
Sports Injury Management
He treats hip injuries from running, surfing, cycling, and competition.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation Guidance
Each patient gets a staged recovery plan keyed to their return-to-activity goals.
