Hip Arthroscopy is a fast growing area in Orthopaedic Surgery, as many patients with hip and groin pain are in need of it. Despite this, very few orthopaedic surgeons are familiar with hip arthroscopy and even fewer general physicians and patients are aware it exists. Hip arthroscopy is not a major part of training programs for orthopaedic surgeons as there are only a small number of Orthopaedic Surgeons in the world who are qualified to teach hip arthroscopy.
See 2008 Fox 5 Newscast on Hip Arthroscopy and Surgery Videos.
The procedure has long been popular in Europe but has only begun to gain popularity in the past few years in the United States. In the U.K., Dr. Villar is a pioneer in the field, as is Dr. Ilizaliturri from Mexico City. The major U.S. centers are in Vail, CO (Dr. Philippon), Nashville, TN (Dr. Bryd), Los Angeles, CA (SCOI), San Francisco (Drs. Sampson and Glick), New York (Drs. Kelly and Dr. Buly) and Boston (Dr. McCarthy). After completing advanced training with most of these surgeons, Dr Hyman established the Atlanta Center for Hip PreservationTM so Georgia patients wouldn't have to travel so far out of state to have these procedures (osteoplasty, labral repair, labral reconstruction, etc).
Dr. Hyman is the co-founder and Medical Director of the Emory Adventist Hip Arthroscopy Center.
