For some people, their bones might grow too much and not fit together perfectly, including the bones around the hip joint, leading to pain. That’s when patients usually learn about hip arthroscopy. Matthew Kraeutler, M.D., is back, this time to talk to us about hip arthroscopy—What is it? Who is a candidate? What is recovery like? Dr. Kraeutler is an orthopedic surgeon with Texas Tech Physicians. He tells us what options patients, especially younger patients, have when they’re feeling pain in their hips and when he recommends treatment with this minimally invasive procedure.
