Hip Arthroscopy

Atlanta Center for Hip Preservation

The Atlanta Center for Hip PreservationTM was established by Dr. Jon Hyman to satisfy a growing need for Georgia patients to have access to state-of-the-art techniques in Hip arthroscopy without having to leave the state.  Dr. Hyman is one of the only hip arthroscopists in Georgia performing all arthroscopic hip labral repairs and femoral neck osteoplasty for impingement.  Dr. Hyman's unique experience in hip arthroscopy is unlike any other.  He has travelled all over the country training with the nation's top pioneer hip arthroscopists (Dr. Marc Philippon at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Vail, CO, Dr. Thomas Byrd of the Nashville Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center in Nashville, TN, and Dr. Brian Kelly at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, NY).

See 2008 Fox 5 Newscast on Hip Arthroscopy and Surgery Videos.

The Atlanta Center for Hip Preservation has well established solutions for patients in need of arthroscopic surgery of the hip.   Dr. Hyman has joined forces with Emory Adventist Hospital and currently serves as the Co-Founder and Medical Director for the Emory Adventist Hip Arthroscopy Center.

A successful outcome doesn't just depend on the skill of the surgeon.  It is also very much dependent on the quality of the physical therapy / rehabilitation, the customer service and the encouragement and support given to the patient.  The Physical Therapists who work with the Atlanta Center for Hip Preservation are outstanding and very 'hands on.'
