Hip Arthroscopy
Hip Arthroscopy – Minimally Invasive Relief for Hip Pain
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside the hip joint. Through small incisions, a camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments are inserted to repair damage without the need for open surgery. Dr. Gautam Kodikal offers advanced arthroscopic treatment for hip conditions, allowing for faster recovery and reduced post-operative discomfort.

Labral Tears: Damage to the cartilage ring around the hip socket
-
Hip Synovitis: Inflammation of the joint lining causing pain and swelling
