Mr Juan Agustin Soler-Fernandez
CONSULTANT ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON
Home » Hip Conditions
As a specialist hip and knee surgeon, I diagnose and treat a wide range of hip conditions using both non-surgical and surgical treatments. Following a thorough consultation, clinical examination and any necessary imaging, I will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your symptoms, diagnosis and personal goals.
The hip is one of the body’s largest weight-bearing joints, allowing you to walk, climb stairs and move comfortably throughout the day. Injury, arthritis, and age-related wear and tear can all affect the hip, leading to pain, stiffness and reduced mobility.
Common hip conditions include:
Many hip conditions can be managed successfully with conservative treatments such as physiotherapy, medication, or injections, while others may benefit from surgery to relieve pain and restore movement.
If hip pain is affecting your mobility or quality of life, please get in touch to arrange a consultation and explore the most appropriate treatment to help you move comfortably again.
Hip osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage covering the joint gradually wears down. It can cause groin or hip pain, stiffness and reduced movement, often making walking and everyday activities increasingly difficult.
The hip labrum is a ring of cartilage surrounding the hip socket. Tears can develop following injury or repetitive movement and may cause groin pain, clicking, catching or discomfort during activity.
Trochanteric bursitis is a common cause of pain on the outside of the hip. It occurs when the bursa- a small fluid-filled sac that cushions the tissues around the greater trochanter (the bony prominence on the outside of the hip)- becomes inflamed.
Hip dysplasia is a condition in which the hip socket does not fully cover or support the ball of the hip joint. This results in increased stress on the cartilage and surrounding soft tissues, making the joint less stable and more prone to damage over time.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory condition that can affect the hip joint, causing pain, swelling and stiffness. Specialist assessment can help determine the extent of joint damage and the most appropriate treatment options.
Avascular necrosis occurs when the blood supply to part of the femoral head is reduced, causing bone tissue to deteriorate. It can lead to persistent hip or groin pain and, in more advanced cases, collapse of the hip joint.
Femoroacetabular impingement occurs when the bones of the hip joint do not move together normally. Repeated contact within the joint can cause pain, restricted movement and damage to the cartilage or labrum.
A stress fracture is a small crack in the bone caused by repeated loading rather than a single traumatic injury. In the hip, stress fractures most commonly affect the neck of the femur and are often seen in runners, athletes, military personnel, and people who have experienced a sudden increase in physical activity.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause of your symptoms and their impact on your life. Following specialist assessment, Mr Soler can discuss appropriate non-surgical and surgical treatment options.
During your consultation, I will carefully assess your symptoms, examine your hip, review any imaging and explain all suitable treatment options, ensuring you have a clear understanding of your diagnosis.
During your consultation, all available treatment options will be discussed in detail.
Your surgeon will ensure you have the information needed to make an informed decision about your care.
If you are experiencing ongoing hip pain or reduced mobility, please get in touch to arrange an assessment and discuss the most appropriate treatment options for your individual needs.
