Whether you need traditional hip surgery or minimally invasive hip arthroscopy, you can rest assured that you’re in good hands at UnaSource Surgery Center.

UnaSource is a leader in minimally invasive hip arthroscopy. Adult and pediatric minimally invasive hip arthroscopy is available, and it may be used for labral repair. Total hip replacement is often used to treat osteoarthritis as well.

Minimally invasive hip arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that allows doctors to view the hip joint without making a large incision. During the procedure, the surgeon inserts a small camera, called an arthroscope, into your hip joint. The camera displays pictures on a video monitor, and your surgeon uses these images to guide small surgical instruments.

Because the instruments are small, the surgeon only needs to make very small incisions rather than the larger incision needed for open surgery. This means less pain and quite often a shorter recovery time.

Anterior or posterior approaches may be used, and patients may return home a couple hours after surgery. At-home recovery time is often minimal, and it may include visits from a registered nurse as well as outpatient physical therapy.
