Hip Conditions & Procedures
At Rochester Hills Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, our team provides complete hip care for athletes and active adults. Dr. Ball specializes in diagnosing and treating hip pain, labral tears, hip impingement, and other musculoskeletal hip conditions. Every treatment plan is designed to help patients move better, reduce pain, and get back to the activities and sports they love with confidence.
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat hip joint problems. Dr. Ball performs hip arthroscopy to repair labral tears, remove damaged cartilage, and correct hip impingement. This procedure helps patients recover mobility and reduce pain while minimizing recovery time.
Some hip and knee injuries involve damage to multiple ligaments. Dr. Ball provides multi-ligament knee reconstruction procedures to restore stability and movement in complex injuries. This surgery is designed to help athletes and active adults recover function and return to their activities confidently.
For patients with advanced hip arthritis or severe joint damage, total hip replacement can restore mobility and relieve pain. Dr. Ball performs hip replacement surgery with precision, focusing on long-term joint health and recovery. Post-surgery rehabilitation supports a safe and active return to daily life.
Recovery from hip procedures blends expert orthopedic care with targeted physical therapy. Our team creates personalized rehabilitation plans that restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Whether you are recovering from surgery or non-surgical treatment, the focus is on helping patients regain movement, recover confidently, and return to activity safely.
We help athletes and active adults of all levels, from high school and college competitors to weekend warriors. Our approach combines orthopedic expertise, sports medicine knowledge, and rehabilitation strategies to address hip injuries completely. Every plan is tailored to help patients recover stronger, maintain long-term hip health, and get back to the activities they love.
Before a hip procedure, it is important to discuss your medical history, current medications, and activity level with your orthopedic specialist. You may need preoperative imaging or lab work to ensure the best outcome. Your team will provide instructions on diet, activity, and what to expect on the day of surgery. A specialist will work with you to develop a plan that fits your body and recovery goals.
Recovery from a hip procedure involves a combination of orthopedic care, physical therapy, and gradual activity progression. Patients typically work on restoring strength, flexibility, and range of motion while following a structured rehabilitation plan.
Your team will guide you through each stage to help you return to your normal activities safely. Recovery plans are tailored to your individual needs.
The timeline to return to sports depends on the type of procedure, your overall health, and how your hip responds to rehabilitation. Dr. Ball and the rehabilitation team work closely with you to ensure strength, mobility, and stability are restored before resuming athletic activity. Your return-to-sport plan will be personalized to your body, sport, and performance goals.
Non-surgical treatments may include physical therapy, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, and targeted injections to reduce pain and improve function. These options can help patients maintain mobility and continue daily activities while avoiding surgery when possible. Your orthopedic team will create a plan specific to your hip condition and lifestyle needs.
Hip surgery is usually considered when non-surgical treatments are no longer effective or when structural issues like labral tears, cartilage damage, or advanced arthritis affect function and quality of life.
Your orthopedic specialist will evaluate your condition with imaging, physical exams, and discussion of your activity goals to determine the best treatment plan. Every recommendation is personalized to your needs.
