Expert Hip Care in Philadelphia

Hip pain can make it hard to walk, climb stairs, or get through the day. When conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes no longer provide relief, surgery may be the right option.

At Temple Health, our orthopaedic surgeons and hip specialists provide comprehensive hip care at multiple locations across the Philadelphia region. We work closely with each patient to understand their condition, explain their options, and develop a treatment plan focused on reducing pain and restoring function.

Hip Replacement Options

There have been many advances in hip replacement surgery in recent years, giving patients more options and leading to better outcomes. You and your surgeon will determine which approach is right for you based on your anatomy, health history, and goals.

Total hip replacement: Your surgeon makes an incision along the side of the hip and replaces the damaged joint surfaces with metal and high-grade plastic components to restore movement and relieve pain.
Anterior hip replacement: A newer approach in which your surgeon makes a single, 4-inch incision at the front of the hip rather than the back or side. This method has the potential to reduce pain, shorten recovery, and increase early mobility for appropriate candidates.
Minimally invasive hip replacement: Similar to traditional total hip replacement, but using one or two smaller incisions of 2 to 5 inches rather than one long incision.
Non-surgical management: Including physical therapy, medication, and lifestyle modification for patients who are not yet candidates for surgery or who prefer to exhaust conservative options first.

What to Expect at a Hip Evaluation

If you are experiencing hip pain, stiffness, or difficulty with normal activity, a hip evaluation is a good first step. At your appointment, your Temple orthopaedic specialist will:

Review your medical history and current symptoms
Perform a physical examination of your hip, range of motion, and gait
Order imaging such as X-rays as needed to assess the joint
Discuss your diagnosis and all available treatment options, surgical and non-surgical
Answer your questions and help you understand what to expect next
