Hip Surgery
The hip is an important joint for everyday movement due to its use in walking, running and climbing stairs. Injuries can be caused such as fractures by sudden impact or by damage to the actual joint either from unusual movement or degenerative conditions such as Osteoarthritis. These injuries can require surgery which involves cutting through several leg muscles which will need to be rehabilitated.
