It supports body weight and allows walking, running, changes of direction and all the movements we make every day. When this joint is damaged by osteoarthritis, trauma, malformations or degenerative conditions, the pain can become disabling and significantly limit a person\u2019s independence.\n\nHip surgery steps in precisely in these cases, with the aim of eliminating pain, recovering joint function and giving the patient back the possibility of leading an active life.\n\nNot all hip problems require surgery. In the early stages many conditions can be treated with <a href=\"\/en\/specialita\/rehabilitation-and-physical-therapy\/\">physical therapy<\/a>, medication, injections or rehabilitation programs.\n\nSurgery is generally considered when:\n- the pain is persistent\n- medicines are no longer effective\n- mobility is severely reduced\n- the patient has difficulty walking\n- quality of life is compromised\n- advanced joint damage is present\n\nThe goal is not only to treat the disease, but to allow the person to return to daily activities such as climbing stairs, walking, driving or exercising.","ambito_voci":"","ambito_chiusura":"","segnali_titolo":"Symptoms that may indicate a hip problem","segnali_intro":"The most common symptoms include:","segnali_voci":"groin pain\nbuttock pain\npain radiating to the thigh\nmorning stiffness\nlimping\ndifficulty walking\nlimited movement\nnight pain","segnali_chiusura":"In many cases the pain is initially mistaken for lower back or muscle problems, delaying the diagnosis.","img1_foto":"","img1_didascalia":"","servizi_titolo":"The conditions that may require hip surgery","servizi_intro":"<h3>Hip osteoarthritis<\/h3>\n\nHip osteoarthritis (coxarthrosis) is the most frequent cause of surgery.\n\nOver the years the cartilage covering the joint surfaces tends to wear away progressively. This causes pain, joint stiffness and limited movement.\n\nIn advanced forms the pain can also appear at rest and during the night.\n\n<h3>Necrosis of the femoral head<\/h3>\n\nAvascular necrosis of the femoral head occurs when the bone tissue does not receive an adequate blood supply.\n\nOver time the bone loses strength and can collapse, compromising the function of the joint.\n\n<h3>Fractures of the proximal femur<\/h3>\n\nHip fractures are one of the main orthopedic emergencies, especially in elderly patients.\n\nIn these cases surgery allows early mobilization and reduces the risk of complications related to prolonged immobility.\n\n<h3>Hip dysplasia<\/h3>\n\nSome people have congenital anatomical abnormalities of the joint which, over the years, can promote the early onset of osteoarthritis.\n\n<h3>Outcomes of trauma<\/h3>\n\nRoad accidents, falls and sports injuries can cause complex joint damage that requires reconstructive or prosthetic surgery.","servizi_voci":"","servizi_chiusura":"","img2_foto":"","img2_didascalia":"","figlie_titolo":"","box_eccellenza_titolo":"","box_eccellenza_testo":"","rimandi_titolo":"","rimandi_voci":"Complex Orthopedic Surgery | The Complex Orthopedic Surgery area deals with highly complex reconstructions and revisions, including after failures elsewhere. | \/specialita\/complex-orthopedic-surgery\/ | Discover the center\nKnee Surgery | The Knee Surgery area deals with osteoarthritis and ligament and meniscus injuries, from arthroscopy to joint replacement. | \/specialita\/knee-surgery\/\nRehabilitation and Physical Therapy | The Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy area deals with functional recovery after trauma, surgery and chronic conditions. | \/specialita\/rehabilitation-and-physical-therapy\/\nImaging Diagnostics | The Imaging Diagnostics area deals with MRI, CT, mammography, ultrasound and radiology examinations. | \/specialita\/imaging-diagnostics\/","prevenzione_titolo":"When to book an orthopedic consultation","prevenzione_testo":"If hip pain limits daily activities, if walking becomes difficult or if conservative treatments are no longer effective, it is important to consult a specialist.\n\nAn early diagnosis makes it possible to identify the most appropriate treatment and, in many cases, to act before the joint damage becomes irreversible.\n\nModern hip surgery today offers effective, safe and increasingly personalized solutions, allowing thousands of people to move again without pain and recover a better quality of life.","visita_titolo":"Diagnosis of hip conditions","visita_passi":"A correct diagnosis is the first step toward treatment.

joint.\n\nJoint-preserving surgery is used above all in younger patients and may include:\n- correction of joint deformities\n- treatment of femoroacetabular impingement\n- repair of cartilage lesions\n- bone reconstructions\n\nThe goal is to slow the progression of the disease and postpone the implantation of a prosthesis as long as possible.\n\n<h3>Hip arthroscopy<\/h3>\n\nArthroscopy is one of the most modern minimally invasive techniques.\n\nThrough small incisions a camera and miniaturized surgical instruments are introduced, making it possible to treat:\n- femoroacetabular impingement\n- lesions of the acetabular labrum\n- loose bodies in the joint\n- synovitis\n- cartilage conditions\n\nThe advantages include less surgical trauma, reduced post-operative pain and faster recovery.\n\n<h3>Minimally invasive hip surgery<\/h3>\n\nIn recent years hip surgery has benefited from the introduction of ever less invasive techniques.\n\nSmaller incisions allow:\n- less blood loss\n- less post-operative pain\n- faster recovery\n- shorter hospital stays\n\n<h3>Anterior approach to the hip<\/h3>\n\nOne of the most innovative techniques is the anterior approach.\n\nThis method makes it possible to reach the joint while better preserving muscles and tendons.\n\nThe main advantages include:\n- less surgical trauma\n- early mobilization\n- reduced risk of dislocation\n- accelerated functional recovery\n\n<h3>Robotic surgery and 3D planning<\/h3>\n\nModern technologies now make it possible to plan the operation with extreme precision.\n\nThrough three-dimensional models and advanced software it is possible to:\n- study the patient\u2019s anatomy\n- simulate the operation\n- choose the most appropriate implant\n- improve prosthetic alignment\n\nIn some cases computer-assisted surgery systems and technologies based on artificial intelligence are used.","extra1_voci":"","extra1_chiusura":"","extra2_titolo":"Hip replacement: the most frequently performed operation","extra2_intro":"When the joint is severely compromised, hip replacement (hip arthroplasty) is used.\n\nThe operation consists in replacing the damaged joint surfaces with artificial components designed to reproduce the natural movement of the hip.\n\nToday modern prostheses make it possible to obtain extremely satisfactory results in terms of durability and function.\n\n<h3>Total hip replacement<\/h3>\n\nThe total prosthesis replaces both the femoral and the acetabular component.\n\nIt is indicated in cases of:\n- advanced osteoarthritis\n- necrosis of the femoral head\n- severe joint deformities\n- complex outcomes of trauma\n\n<h3>Partial hip replacement<\/h3>\n\nIt is used above all in the treatment of some femoral fractures in the elderly.\n\n<h3>Revision of hip prostheses<\/h3>\n\nNot all prostheses last forever.\n\nIn the presence of loosening of the implant, infection, wear of the components or periprosthetic fractures, revision surgery may be necessary.\n\nThese are highly complex procedures that require specialized centers and surgeons with extensive experience.\n\n<h3>Recovery after surgery<\/h3>\n\nOne of the most important aspects of hip surgery is rehabilitation.\n\nThanks to modern Fast Track protocols, many patients are able to get up and walk within the first hours after the operation.\n\nThe rehabilitation pathway includes:\n- recovery of walking\n- muscle strengthening\n- recovery of balance\n- improvement of joint mobility\n\nCollaboration between orthopedic surgeons, <a href=\"\/en\/specialita\/physiatry\/\">physiatrists<\/a> and <a href=\"\/en\/specialita\/rehabilitation-and-physical-therapy\/\">physical therapists<\/a> is essential to obtain the best results.\n\n<h3>How long a hip prosthesis lasts<\/h3>\n\nModern prostheses can last a very long time.\n\nThanks to innovative materials and advanced surgical techniques, many implants maintain high function for over 20 years.\n\nDurability depends on several factors:\n- the patient\u2019s age\n- physical activity\n- bone quality\n- correct positioning of the implant","extra2_voci":"","extra2_chiusura":"","faq_titolo":"","faq_voci":"","nc_sinonimi":"hip replacement, hip prosthesis, hip arthroscopy, coxarthrosis, hip pain"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is
