Hip pain makes the simplest parts of a day harder, from getting out of a chair to sleeping through the night. At AICA Orthopedics, we diagnose the cause with on-site imaging and treat it with the least invasive option that works, moving to surgery only when it will restore mobility that conservative care cannot. If you have searched for hip surgery near you, our hip surgeons and hip replacement doctors have you covered at multiple locations across Metro Atlanta.
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that carries your weight through every step. When cartilage wears down, a bone breaks, or the labrum tears, the joint stops gliding and starts to hurt. Orthopedic hip surgery repairs or replaces the damaged part of the joint to end the pain and rebuild movement.
The right procedure depends on your diagnosis, age, and activity level. A younger patient with a labral tear and healthy cartilage needs a different approach than an older patient with advanced arthritis, which is why we confirm the cause with imaging before recommending surgery.
Our hip surgeons diagnose and treat problems in the hip joint and the muscles, ligaments, and cartilage around it. They work alongside our physical therapists and pain management specialists on one care plan, and draw on the more than 60 doctors across our specialties when a case crosses into nerve or spine territory.
That structure keeps your diagnosis, surgery, and recovery connected, with no repeated intake forms and no weeks lost between a scan and a surgeon.
Our hip surgeons treat the full range of joint and soft-tissue problems, not just arthritis:
Persistent hip pain that interferes with daily life is the signal to get evaluated. Book an appointment if you notice:
A sudden inability to bear weight after a fall or accident needs immediate care and may signal a fracture.
Not all hip pain requires surgery, and for many patients the following treatments delay or prevent it while keeping them active:
When these stop controlling your pain, or the joint damage is too advanced, the surgeon reviews the surgical options with you.
We match the procedure to how much damage the joint has sustained.
Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery works through smaller incisions than open surgery, producing less pain, reduced scarring, and a quicker recovery. Our hip surgeons use this approach wherever it is safe for your condition.
Total Hip Replacement Surgery is for severe joint damage. Our hip replacement surgeons remove the damaged joint and replace it with an artificial joint made of state-of-the-art materials, dramatically improving mobility and reducing pain.
Hip Fracture Repair treats a broken hip from a fall or accident, which needs surgical repair to heal in the correct position. Our surgeons stabilize the fracture, then rebuild strength and movement through rehabilitation.
Recovery depends on the procedure and how your body heals. Our general timeline for total hip replacement looks like this:
|
Recovery stage |
What to expect |
|
First few days |
Hospital stay if required, with pain management and early physical therapy |
|
First two weeks |
More mobility with assistance, walking with a walker or crutches |
|
Weeks 3-6 |
Gradual return to daily activities, continued physical therapy, and less pain |
|
Months 3-6 |
Noticeable gains in strength, mobility, and overall function |
| One year |
Full recovery for most patients, including a return to low-impact sports |
Your customized physical therapy plan runs alongside this timeline, coordinated with the surgeon who performed your procedure.
For patients injured in an accident that wasn’t their fault, eligible care often comes with no out-of-pocket cost, because we bill the claim, not you.
We run our imaging and diagnostics on site, so your surgeon moves from diagnosis to plan without waiting on an outside facility. Each scan answers a different question:
We pair board-certified hip surgeons with pain management specialists and physical therapists, so diagnosis, surgery, and rehabilitation run as one coordinated process rather than a series of referrals. More than 15,000 verified Google reviews, same-day appointments, 24/7 doctor access, and Metro Atlanta locations put that care within reach.
Finding the right hip surgeon can make all the difference in your recovery and long-term mobility. At AICA Orthopedics, our experienced hip surgeons, physical therapists, and pain management specialists treat your hip from diagnosis through rehabilitation, close to home across Metro Atlanta. Take the first step toward relief. Schedule a consultation or call us at (404) 855-2141 today.
Reviews from our Amazing patients
Was referred here by a friend but have been coming here after a recent accident and the service is always professional and the staff is absolutely the best. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that has chiropractic needs.
