Hip Surgeons in Southwest Ohio
Hip pain can make everyday movement difficult, affecting your ability to walk, stand, exercise, or stay active. When the hip joint becomes damaged from arthritis, injury, or normal wear over time, it can lead to stiffness, discomfort, and reduced mobility. At Orthopedic Associates, our orthopedic specialists provide comprehensive treatment for hip pain, including advanced hip replacement surgery, to help patients restore comfort, movement, and independence.
Orthopedic Associates has served patients throughout Dayton and Southwest Ohio for decades, offering experienced care supported by modern surgical techniques and personalized treatment planning. Our hip surgeons treat a wide range of hip conditions, helping patients find solutions that align with their lifestyle and long-term goals.
Understanding Hip Pain and Its Causes
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint designed to provide stability while allowing smooth movement. Healthy cartilage protects the joint and allows the bones to move without friction. When cartilage wears down or the joint becomes damaged, pain and stiffness can develop.
Common causes of hip pain include osteoarthritis, fractures, labral tears, inflammatory conditions, and prior injuries. Symptoms often progress gradually and may include joint stiffness, reduced range of motion, discomfort during movement, or pain that interferes with daily activities.
Non-Surgical and Surgical Hip Treatment Options
Whenever possible, treatment begins with conservative care. Many patients benefit from non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, injections, and activity modification. These approaches can help reduce pain and improve joint function.
When conservative treatments are no longer effective and joint damage becomes more advanced, hip replacement surgery may be recommended. Hip replacement involves removing damaged portions of the joint and replacing them with a durable implant designed to restore smooth movement and stability.
Orthopedic Associates offers advanced surgical techniques, including robotic-assisted hip replacement, which allows for detailed surgical planning and precise implant placement. This technology helps surgeons tailor treatment to each patient’s anatomy while supporting consistent, reliable outcomes.
Information About the Hip
People of varying ages and lifestyles are susceptible to hip problems. Osteoarthritis – the loss of cartilage in the hip joint due to wear and tear – is common among baby boomers and seniors. Young athletes, on the other hand, can suffer from cartilage or ligament tears that can sideline them for several months.
Our physicians have extensive training in evaluating and treating hip injuries and disorders. With recent technological advancements in both surgical and nonsurgical treatment, we are able to take a less invasive approach to hip repair.
After discussing the nature of your hip problem, we will order the appropriate diagnostic tests, including x-rays and magnetic resonance images (MRIs) as needed, and develop a treatment plan to meet your needs.

- Complex revision hip replacement
- Hip arthroscopy
- Minimally invasive hip surgery
