Hip arthroscopy is a technically demanding procedure within orthopedic medicine. Many orthopedic surgeons who specialize in sports medicine may do an occasional hip arthroscopy, but you want a surgeon who does hundreds or thousands of hip arthroscopy procedures to ensure that they possess the skills and experience necessary to navigate this difficult procedure.

At Panorama Orthopedics & Spine Center, Dr. Michael Ellman and Dr. Dan Haber were both trained specifically in hip arthroscopy by one of the most prestigious and well known experts in the field of hip arthroscopy, Dr. Marc Philippon, Director of Hip Research at the Steadman Philippon Research Institute in Vail, Colorado. Dr. Ellman and Dr. Haber are experts in this area and performs hundreds of these difficult surgeries every year for patient’s who travel from around the region for this expert care.

Likewise, when it takes more than hip arthroscopy alone to repair a damaged hip, when a bone has to be re-shaped, or moved into a corrected position, doctors who are trained in the complex musculoskeletal techniques necessary to reconstruct the dysplastic hip are few and far between. Dr. Ron Hugate and Dr. Nimesh Patel are two of these highly specialized surgeons and among only a few in the entire Rocky Mountain region. They have undergone special training in minimal incision hip preservation techniques, which allows them to perform complicated and complex osteotomies.
