How We Take Care of Your Hips

Hips make up two of your body’s most important joints, bearing your weight to run, walk and jump. Persistent hip pain can keep you from enjoying daily activities. The Avera Orthopedics team is here to help you find relief and prevent more serious problems from happening. We will guide you through diagnosis, treatment and recovery. Treatment plans are tailored to your unique circumstances and goals — meaning you can heal faster.

Nonsurgical Hip Options

Your treatment will begin with conservative, nonsurgical options. This way, you’re able to get better through alternatives to surgery, like a total hip replacement.

Hip injections
Medications (over-the-counter and prescriptions)
Physical therapy

Minimally Invasive Surgical Hip Options

An Avera orthopedic surgeon will perform your procedure with minimally invasive techniques when possible. These less-intrusive procedures leave large hip muscles intact. One example of this is the anterior approach to hip replacement. This involves only a small incision made at the front of the upper thigh to reduce pain and speed recovery.

Hip arthroscopy

Hip Replacement Surgery and Procedures

If nonsurgical and minimally invasive hip treatment doesn’t work, hip replacement surgery may resolve discomfort. Procedures like hip, knee and other joint replacements help many patients reset effectively and live pain-free. Orthopedic surgeons will determine if this route is necessary with an exam, X-ray and consultation.

Rehabilitation Plan for Best Possible Recovery

With Avera, you have access to the industry's best technology and procedures. Our surgeons use the latest techniques and most advanced technology for the best possible treatment.

When you know what to expect with recovery, better outcomes are possible. Your orthopedic care team will help you plan for what comes next after hip surgery. We will help take care of everything post-operation — from medications to home care and physical therapy. Just show up for your surgery, and we'll take care of the rest.

Total Joint Replacement Education

Total joint replacement will help with the issues you are having with your hips or knees. Your preparation before the surgery and proper therapy after surgery are both vital in determining your long-term health and mobility. Many patients are able to return home the same day of surgery. Please direct any specific questions to your surgeon’s office.
