Hip Conditions in Hauts-de-Seine

Hip Conditions

The hip is a major weight-bearing joint that connects the femur to the pelvis, providing stability, mobility and efficient movement. It is commonly affected by degenerative conditions such as hip osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and traumatic injuries including femoral neck and trochanteric fractures. Depending on the underlying condition, treatment may involve total hip replacement to restore a worn or damaged joint, or internal fixation (osteosynthesis) to stabilise fractures and promote optimal 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 total hip replacement. I perform hip replacement surgery using the latest surgical techniques, including the minimally invasive direct anterior approach combined with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. This modern approach is designed to optimise clinical outcomes, reduce postoperative discomfort and facilitate a faster, safer recovery with an earlier return to daily activities.
