Hip Conditions and Hip Surgery in Hauts-de-Seine
Dr Simon Tournemine
Hip Conditions
The hip is a major weight-bearing joint that connects the femur to the pelvis and plays a fundamental role in mobility and everyday function. It is commonly affected by degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and traumatic injuries including femoral neck and trochanteric fractures. Depending on the underlying condition, surgical treatment may involve replacing the damaged joint with a total hip replacement or stabilising a fracture using internal fixation techniques (osteosynthesis) to restore function and promote bone healing.
During my Clinical Fellowship at the renowned Orthopaedic Department of Cochin Hospital, a recognised referral centre for hip surgery, I developed advanced expertise in hip replacement surgery. I perform total hip replacement using the latest surgical techniques, including the minimally invasive direct anterior approach combined with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. By integrating modern surgical methods with evidence-based perioperative care, these procedures are designed to optimise clinical outcomes, minimise postoperative discomfort and support a faster, safer recovery with an earlier return to daily activities.
