American Hip Institute cited in Orthopedicstoday for innovating labral reconstruction, a treatment for hip labral tears.
At American Hip Institute, our team have helped pioneer and advance modern hip labral reconstruction, a procedure designed for patients whose labrum is too damaged to be repaired. The labrum is essential for maintaining hip stability, protecting joint cartilage, and creating the suction seal that allows the hip to function normally. Through decades of research, innovation, and clinical experience, American Hip Institute has contributed to the development and refinement of reconstruction techniques that restore the labrum's structure and function. Today, labral reconstruction is a proven treatment option for patients with irreparable labral tears, failed previous repairs, or significant labral degeneration, helping reduce pain, improve mobility, and preserve long-term hip health.
New Predictive Model Identifies Predictors of Hip Abductor Tears
Researchers have developed a predictive model to help identify the presence of hip abductor tears in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.
Considering hip surgery? How robotics could improve your outcome
In the last decade, we have been introduced to major technological advances such as self-driving cars and virtual home assistants. It was only a matter of time until robotics revolutionized medicine and healthcare.
Tips for Caring for a Professional Athlete Post Surgery or Injury

5 Exercises for Healthy Hips
The hip is a major weight-bearing joint in the body and is responsible for many functional activities such as walking and running, sitting and standing, and climbing stairs. By keeping your hips strong and mobile, hip pain can quickly be eliminated and you can return to normal activity.
Fractured Bones Breakthrough

Common Cause of Pain With Hip Bursitis
When the bursa becomes inflamed, each time the tendon has to move over the bone, pain results. Because patients with hip bursitis move this tendon with each step, symptoms of this condition can be quite painful.
Weight Change and Bone Health in Older Adults with Obesity
Weight loss in older adults is accompanied by loss in bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of bone fracture. A new study published in Obesity found that loss of hip BMD persists in the year following a weight loss intervention among older adults with obesity, regardless of whether they regain weight.
Meet Mako, The Robot Helping Doctors Perform Error-Free Surgeries
This robotic assistant has helped with more than 300,000 operations and is transforming the way doctors perform joint replacement surgeries.
One in Five Awaiting New Hip Suffer Acute Pain
Almost 20 percent of people awaiting hip replacements are experiencing extreme pain or discomfort, a study shows. Researchers also found that 12 percent of patients on waiting lists for knee replacements considered themselves to be in a similarly acute state of health.
