I am an expert at hip preservation surgery, performing a range of surgical procedures, including hip arthroscopy, femoral osteotomy and soft tissue procedures. However, if the hip joint is beyond repair due to advanced nature of arthritis. I offer hip arthroplasty, thus providing a full range of procedures relevant to a hip joint.
