hip arthroscopy

I'm in pain all the time. Whether it's my hip (which I already had surgery on, listen to Episode 10 to learn more), my hands, my knees or my neck - I'm always in some kind of pain. It's not something I talk about outside of my inner circle - mainly because I feel like a burden or a nutjob most of the time for having all of these issues - but I wanted to share a little bit about it here  because I'm hurting and I'm tired. So I hope that if you're in pain that you'll take heart and know that you're not alone. Let me know and let's chat about it, because pain makes us a different version of ourselves and it can be really shitty.

Hip arthroscopy refers to the viewing of the interior of the acetabulofemoral (hip) joint through an arthroscope and the treatment of hip pathology through a minimally invasive approach. This technique is sometimes used to help in the treatment of various joint disorders and has gained popularity because of the small incisions used and shorter recovery times when compared with conventional surgical techniques (sometimes referred to as "open surgery").

Comprehensive, relevant and insightful conversations about health and medicine happen here… on MedStar Health Doc Talk.  If you’re an active person with hip pain, you may have hip impingement or a labrum tear. These conditions can be repaired with a minimally invasive, highly specialized procedure: hip arthroscopy. MedStar Health sports medicine orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Kenneth Tepper and DocTalk host Mike Schuh discuss this surgical repair.

Learn more about the hip ball and socket, how cartilage wear and tear differs from arthritis, and when you should see a specialist so that you can keep moving. Dr. Tepper sees patients in Pikesville, Hunt Valley, and Westminster, Maryland, and is a national expert on hip arthroscopy. He is also the medical director for athletics at Stevenson University and on the medical staff for the USA Men's U-21 lacrosse team.
