Hip Arthroscopy Specialist in Tysons Corner, VA
If you’re dealing with persistent hip pain, stiffness, or limited movement, hip arthroscopy may be the answer. At Nirschl Orthopedic Center, near Tysons Corner, Virginia, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of hip problems using advanced, minimally invasive techniques. Our goal is to help you feel better, move better, and return to doing what you enjoy.
What Is Hip Arthroscopy?
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that allows your orthopedic hip specialist to view and treat problems inside the hip joint without making a large incision. Through small incisions, a tiny camera (scope) and surgical tools are used to treat conditions like:
- Labral tears – damage to the cartilage that lines the socket
- FAI (Femoroacetabular Impingement) – extra bone causing joint damage
- Hip impingement – when hip bones rub together
- Loose cartilage or bone fragments
- Early-stage hip arthritis
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery
Hip arthroscopy offers several benefits over traditional open surgery. The procedure is performed through small incisions, which usually means less tissue disruption and a lower chance of complications. Many patients experience less pain following surgery and recover more quickly. Because the surgery is less invasive, hospital stays are shorter (or not needed at all) and patients can often return to normal routines sooner.
At our office near Tysons Corner, VA, we help patients with both surgical and non-surgical hip treatments, including:
- Hip labral repair
- FAI treatment and bone reshaping
- Hip dysplasia surgery
- Hip preservation procedures to delay joint replacement
- Sports-related hip injuries
- Hip osteoarthritis and arthritis pain management
Not every hip issue requires surgery, which is why we also offer physical therapy, injections, and guidance for conservative care when appropriate.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery after hip arthroscopy varies depending on the type of procedure, but most people are able to begin walking with crutches within the first couple of days. The rehabilitation process typically starts with gentle movement and stretching to keep the joint from becoming stiff.
As healing progresses, we introduce physical therapy to help rebuild strength and improve flexibility. Over time, we work with you toward a gradual return to sports, work, or daily activities. Throughout your recovery, our team will guide you through each phase of your rehabilitation protocol, so you always know what to expect and how to move forward safely.
