Hip Procedures
Hip Arthroscopy
The hip has many potential pain generators, I use patient history, physical exam and advanced imaging studies to determine what is contributing to your pain. These are a sample of common procedures performed in the hip to alleviate pain, instability and dysfunction:
-
labral repair
-
CAM/Pincer Hip Impingement (FAI - femoroacetabular impingement)
-
IT band release
-
Abductor tendon repair
​
Benefits of arthroscopic over open hip surgery
-
Minimal scars
-
no overnight hospital stay
-
Decreased pain and swelling
-
Improved motion
-
Quicker functional recovery
-
Fewer risks and complications
​
Ultrasound-guided Hip injection
​​
Some hip pathology can be treated with injection (cortisone or PRP). Most surgeons perform hip injections under anesthesia with xray guidance. Dr. Kimball received special training by renowned hip surgeon Dr. Carlos Guanche where he learned the technique to perform hip injections in the office under ultrasound guidance, without the need for anesthesia.
