Specialty Total Hip Services
When you have hip pain, you want relief. Hip pain can interfere with sleep, prevent you from being active and reduce your quality of life.
Whether it’s arthritis, an old injury, or simply the wear and tear of an active life, you don't have to manage the pain alone. With advanced care, we help you get back to your regular activities.

Innovative Surgical Treatments
If you need hip surgery, you can rest easy. Lahey hip doctors provide advanced procedures and expert care.
We offer several innovative approaches, such as:
- Anterior approach for total hip replacement: Your surgeon uses the Hana table, an advanced device for fracture care. During the procedure, your surgeon works between the muscles and tissues. Your healthy tissues are not detached from the hip bone or thigh bone. This helps you avoid trauma and experience less pain, a faster recovery and better mobility.
- Hip preservation surgery: This procedure relieves pain and improves motion without replacing the hip joint. Your surgeon may recommend hip preservation, especially if you are a younger patient. Your surgeon reshapes the hip joint to reduce friction. This approach preserves your cartilage and joint.
