Hip Center

Our orthopedic specialists provide an integrated team approach to the evaluation and treatment of a wide range of hip disorders occurring in adults and children.

At NYU Langone’s Hip Center, part of NYU Langone Orthopedic Center, our team includes pediatric and adult orthopedic surgeons with different subspecialty backgrounds, as well as therapists and radiologists who share a specific interest in disorders of the hip. This unique collaborative approach allows us to provide care for all hip conditions, whether they are developmental, traumatic, or degenerative, and to take a collaborative approach to each person’s situation.

Patients with complex conditions affecting the hip and those who are candidates for surgery may be discussed in a team conference, during which we plan personalized treatment for each patient. Our services for children are provided through Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone.

Our Specialties and Services

Our specialists have vast experience diagnosing and treating a broad range of conditions affecting the hip, including the following:

• hip dysplasia, or shallow hip socket
• femoral–acetabular impingement (FAI)
• hip labrum tears
• osteoarthritis, including hip arthritis in young adults and post-traumatic arthritis
• sports hip and groin injuries
• sports hernias
• avascular necrosis of the hip
• fractures of the hip and pelvis, including fractures that are slow to heal
• snapping hip syndrome

In recent years, many innovative surgical and nonsurgical options have become available for the treatment of hip disorders in adults and children. Our surgical and nonsurgical treatment options include the following:

• physical therapy
• hip injections, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections
• hip arthroscopy procedures for labrum tears and hip impingement
• hip and pelvis osteotomy, including Ganz Bernese osteotomy, also known as periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), for hip dysplasia
• core decompression and bone grafting for avascular necrosis of the hip

We also specialize in minimally invasive, single-incision total hip replacements, such as anterior total hip replacement and robotic-assisted total hip replacement, which for many patients can be performed as an outpatient procedure.
