Advances in Hip Arthroscopy

Patients with pain in both hips are treatable by select surgeons with single surgery and single rehab

Dr. Dean K. Matsuda presents national and international innovations in the fields of hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgery.

It’s been known for some time that spine deformities and spinal fusions can cause more complications from hip replacements in patients with arthritis. But what about the nonarthritic hip that hurts?

Dr. Dean Matsuda from Los Angeles publishes key study showing similar successful hip arthroscopy outcomes for patients with shallow (borderline dysplasia), normal, and deep (pincer impingement) hip sockets when performed by very experienced surgeons.

Dr. Matsuda developed surgeries to treat athletes with femoroacetabular impingement and osteitis pubis. A growing number of patients are coming to Los Angeles for minimally invasive procedures typically performed as a single outpatient surgery.

Dr. Dean Matsuda gives a presentation at the California Orthopedic Association annual meeting to help referring surgeons know which patients benefit most from hip arthroscopy. Professionally video-recorded by VuMedi for surgeon and patient education.
