Conditions treated with hip preservation procedures
The physicians of the HCA HealthONE Swedish Hip Restoration program are unparalleled in their precise diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the hip joint.
- Hip dysplasia: the socket of the hip joint is too shallow to fully cover and support the top of your thighbone (femur). If untreated, it can cause early arthritis and hip instability
- Hip labral tears: the cartilage that lines your hip socket can tear from injury, repetitive stress or age prompting symptoms of groin or bikini line pain; increased pain with sitting, pivoting or twisting; a deep ache or catching sensation; or a feeling of the hip getting stuck when going from sitting to standing
- Hip impingement: abnormal contact in the hip joint caused by irregularly shaped bones of either the ball (femoral head) or socket (acetabulum), leading some specialists to call this condition femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)

Hip restoration surgery
Arthroscopic labral reconstruction of the hip is an advanced operation that involves making a new labrum from a graft. The HCA HealthONE Swedish's Hip Restoration Institute offers a proven approach to chronic hip pain.
For an injury that will not heal on its own, surgery is usually recommended when the tear is severe or producing persistent symptoms.
Hip labral reconstruction
Our approach is to replace the labrum with a graft that will never be able to feel pain. By removing the chronically damaged labrum, the labral pain goes away.
The ball and cup are also meticulously and precisely reshaped, so they fit properly together to protect the labral reconstruction and the hip moving forward. The hip joint is functionally restored to its younger, healthier form. Pain is eradicated, and our patients return to all that they enjoy doing.
Our team has successfully completed thousands of hip labral reconstructions and continues to perform hundreds each year.
Hip arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive hip surgery. During this procedure, our surgeon accesses the hip joint through several small incisions rather than one large incision. With the aid of advanced technology, the hip joint is visualized and repaired without ever being exposed. We are proud to offer you this technique, which often leads to less pain, a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and diminished scarring.
Ligamentum teres reconstruction for preventing labral tears
In addition to labral reconstruction, our team also performs reconstruction of the ligamentum teres — the rope-like connection between the ball and cup of the hip joint. By reconstructing this area, the hip is restabilized, which can prevent a labral tear.
Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO)
Periacetabular osteotomy is a surgical procedure used to treat hip dysplasia. The goal of the surgery is to correct the alignment of the hip joint by repositioning the socket of the hip to better cover the ball of the femur. Performed by our expert team, this procedure can alleviate pain in younger patients and delay or prevent the need for hip replacement surgery.
Combination PAO and hip arthroscopy for hip dysplasia and labral tears
By combining both procedures into one surgery, our team expertly addresses the structural issues in the hip joint while repairing or reconstructing the labral tissue. One surgery can improve patient outcomes, especially reducing pain, recovery time and the need for additional operations in the future.
