Not just for the young, but also the young at heart - hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that can make a big difference for many people suffering with hip pain related to labral tears. Just published: a randomized controlled trial showing hip arthroscopy has improved outcomes for labral tears in patients over 40 years old compared to physical therapy alone.

Zimmer ROSA robotic knee replacement is helping us improve precision in the operating room. Check out this video (viewer discretion advised) that my partner, Blake Peterson, MD, made demonstrating the new robot in action!

Happy birthday Alice! Thanks for all that you do!

I put together a short video with information on hip arthroscopy (minimally invasive surgery of the hip joint). I've included some surgical pictures and videos to help you understand more about what I do! This is a rapidly growing field within orthopedics and one of the reasons why I chose my subspecialty of sports medicine. This treatment is targeted at patients who typically have pain deep in the front of the hip who are too young for joint replacement surgery!
