Expert Hip Care

At Tidewater Orthopaedics, we know that healthy hips are important for walking, moving, and enjoying daily life. If you have hip pain, are healing from an injury, or have worn‑down joints, our team is here to help. We listen to your concerns and create a plan that fits your needs.

Our fellowship-trained hip specialists offer many types of care. This includes simple treatments without surgery, as well as advanced options like robotic hip replacement, muscle‑sparing surgery, and the Jiffy Hip® method. Our goal is to reduce your pain, help you move better, and protect your hip health for the future.

Conditions We Treat

We provide expert care for a full range of hip conditions, including:

• Hip arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post‑traumatic arthritis)
• Labral tears
• Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)
• Hip dysplasia
• Bursitis and tendonitis
• Hip fractures
• Snapping hip syndrome
• Muscle strains and soft tissue injuries
• Sports‑related hip injuries

Advanced Treatment Options

Whenever possible, we begin with simple, conservative treatments that aim to ease pain and improve joint movement.

Non‑Surgical Treatments

• Activity modification
• Personalized physical therapy
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Smaller incision with less disruption to soft tissue
• Faster recovery and quicker return to walking and activity
• Less pain and weakness after surgery
• Better hip stability because the muscles are preserved
• Lower risk of dislocation compared to traditional methods
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections
• Stem Cell injections

These approaches often help patients delay or avoid surgery while maintaining a high quality of life.

Hip Procedures We Offer

Hip Arthroscopy & Minimally Invasive Procedures

• Labral repair
• FAI (cam/pincer) correction
• Cartilage restoration procedures
• Synovectomy
• Loose body removal

Robotic Hip Replacement (Advanced Technology Option)

At Tidewater Orthopaedics, we offer Robotic‑Assisted Hip Replacement, a modern option that improves surgical precision and accuracy.

This technology allows your surgeon to:

• Create a highly detailed 3D model of your hip
• Plan implant placement with very high accuracy
• Improve how the joint lines up and moves
• Help reduce soft‑tissue irritation
• Support faster recovery and better long-term results

Robotic‑assisted hip surgery is a great option for many people with severe arthritis or worn‑down joints. It is one of the most advanced and precise ways to rebuild the hip.

Jiffy Hip® – Direct Anterior Hip Replacement

The Jiffy Hip® technique is a minimally invasive, muscle‑sparing way to replace the hip. It lets surgeons work between the muscles instead of cutting through them.

Benefits often include:

• Smaller incision with less disruption to soft tissue
• Faster recovery and quicker return to walking and activity
• Less pain after surgery
• Better hip stability because the muscles are preserved
• Lower risk of dislocation compared to traditional methods

Many patients choose Jiffy Hip® for its reputation of quicker mobility and a smoother overall recovery experience.

Hip Joint Reconstruction & Replacement

Along with Jiffy Hip® and robotic-assisted technology, we offer a full range of hip reconstruction options:

• Total hip replacement (anterior, posterior, or robotic-assisted)
• Hip revision and revision hip replacement (for failing or worn implants)
• Minimally invasive hip techniques

Our surgeons collaborate closely with our onsite physical therapy team to support your healing and restore function.
