Complex Surgery for Hip Injuries Hip Labral Repair
While conservative methods can provide relief from a hip labral injury, surgery is required to repair a torn labrum. Your doctor may perform arthroscopic surgery using a fiber-optic camera and surgical instruments through small incisions. Depending on the severity of the tear, the damaged or torn labrum may be removed or repaired with sutures.

Shoulder Stabilization
Shoulder stabilization surgery is performed to improve stability and function of the shoulder joint and prevent recurrent dislocations. It can be performed arthroscopically, depending on your particular condition. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery and is performed through two tiny incisions (portals), about half-inch in length, made around the joint area.

Cartilage Restoration
The bone surfaces in joints are covered by smooth cartilage to help the articulating bones glide over each other without friction during movements. Small areas of cartilage damage caused by sports or traumatic injuries can be successfully treated by cartilage reconstruction or restoration procedures.

Rotator Cuff Repair
The rotator cuff is a group of 4 muscles in the shoulder joint including the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. These muscles originate in the scapula and attach to the head of the humerus through tendons. The rotator cuff forms a sleeve around the humeral head and glenoid cavity, providing stability to the shoulder joint while enabling a wide range of movements.
