Hip impingement is the narrowing that occurs in the pelvis or femur joint due to excessive friction of bone irregularities in the hip joint. It causes serious pain and limitation of movement in individuals.

Surgical method is preferred in individuals who cannot get results from non-surgical treatments. This surgery, which is usually performed with spinal anesthesia, takes between 1 and 2 hours.

Causes of hip impingement include heavy -duty work, congenital hip dislocation, anatomical difference in femoral head or hip angle, hip trauma, inflammatory arthritis, repetitive hip flexion, and Legg-Calves-Perthes disease, which is a type of arthritis in children in which blood flow to the bone is impaired and causes bone destruction.

Symptoms of hip impingement include pain in the inner hip and groin area when sitting and standing for long periods of time, severe pain in the hip, locking, clicking and sticking sensation in the hip, lower back pain, difficulty in walking and limitation of movement.

Hip impingement surgery is recommended when physical therapy and medication fail to yield results and the symptoms have existed for a long time.

Three different surgical methods can be applied in hip congestion surgery: hip prosthesis, open surgery or hip arthroscopy. The surgical method to be applied is decided by the doctor depending on the factor causing hip compression and the severity of the deformity. This surgery, performed under spinal anesthesia, takes between 1 and 2 hours.

Individuals stay 1 night after surgery or in the hospital unless the speialist advises a longer stay. In line with the surgical method applied, the duration of the hospital changes. Individuals need to walk with the help of arm wand or walker for 6 weeks after surgery. During this time, the weight and load to the hip should be avoided. Usually after 4 weeks, individuals can start walking without having to have an external supprort.Physical therapy is recommended to recover the functions of the hip joint. Physical therapy positively affects the recovery period. Although the recovery period varies according to the individual from the individual and the surgical method applied, full improvement occurs 12 weeks and afterwards.
