Your Hips
You may not realize it, but the hip is an important part of your daily life. Movements like sitting, standing, walking, or bending are all related to the hip. The hip uses a cup-and-ball-like joint that gives you a wide range of motion in multiple directions.

Advanced Orthopaedic Center physicians have taken time to understand and specialize in cutting-edge hip treatments and surgeries.
