Hip preservation
Hip preservation surgery is used to relieve hip pain by reshaping the natural joint or by repairing or replacing damaged tissues. These procedures can be used instead of total hip replacements, offering another solution for hip dysplasia or arthritis.

Hip restoration surgery
Arthroscopic labral reconstruction of the hip is an advanced operation that involves making a new labrum from a graft. The Swedish Medical Center's Hip Restoration Institute offers a proven approach to chronic hip pain.
For an injury that will not heal on its own, surgery is usually recommended when the tear is severe or producing persistent symptoms.
Hip labral reconstruction
Our approach is to replace the labrum with a graft that will never be able to feel pain. By removing the chronically damaged labrum, the labral pain goes away.
The ball and cup are also meticulously and precisely reshaped, so they fit properly together to protect the labral reconstruction and the hip moving forward. The hip joint is functionally restored to its younger, healthier form. Pain is eradicated, and our patients return to all that they enjoy doing.
Our team has successfully completed thousands of hip labral reconstructions and continues to perform hundreds each year.
Hip arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive hip surgery. During this procedure, our surgeon accesses the hip joint through several small incisions rather than one large incision. With the aid of advanced technology, the hip joint is visualized and repaired without ever being exposed. We are proud to offer you this technique, which often leads to less pain, a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and diminished scarring.
Ligamentum teres reconstruction for preventing labral tears
In addition to labral reconstruction, our team also performs reconstruction of the ligamentum teres — the rope-like connection between the ball and cup of the hip joint. By reconstructing this area, the hip is restabilized, which can prevent a labral tear.
