Ongoing Research at the Center for Hip Pain and Preservation

Research

Our Center researchers are establishing a clinical database to evaluate diagnosis and treatment options that will benefit our patients as well as the outside world. Researchers are focusing on new ways and techniques to treat hip pain. One of the goals of the Center's research will be to learn if hip arthroscopy will change the course of arthritis. Research will look deeper into the underlying causes of osteoarthritis of the hip through imaging and biomechanical studies and focus on new surgical techniques and hip preserving procedures.

Registry

Our registry, now in development, will enable our clinicians to analyze clinical, radiographic and imaging data on patients to document outcomes for two, five, ten and twenty years following treatment. The registry will help investigators learn which patients make the best candidates for hip arthropscopy and will aid in the development of optimal standards of care and treatment, as well as offer non-operative solutions.
