Minimally invasive hip surgery
The hip is a joint that can present with very complex pathologies, both diagnostically and therapeutically. It is a diarthrosis, as it has two articular surfaces connected by ligaments to form a capsule. This not only stabilizes and strengthens the joint to withstand constant loads and impacts, but also allows for a wide range of motion. The bones involved are the femur and the hip bone, formed by the union of the ischium, pubis, and ilium, which constitute the acetabulum.
Hip pathology can present from a very early age, even in newborns, to chronic conditions such as coxatrosis or hip osteoarthritis. Metabolic factors or medications can also cause a lack of blood flow to the femoral head. It can also be affected by conditions such as obesity or trauma, which can cause not only fractures but also dislocations.
