Hip
Revitalize with Hip Arthroscopy
At Pro Sport Orthopedics in Gig Harbor, we treat hip issues of all types. Our orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Nels Sampatacos, is board-certified and fellowship-trained in sports medicine, arthroscopy, and reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Nels Sampatacos and his PRO SPORT team of providers, including his physician assistant, Laura Sciba, and the sports rehab chiropractors, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and massage therapists will work to create a comprehensive treatment plan designed to relieve your pain and restore your function.
Some hip conditions can be treated without surgery. Treatment options include chiropractic rehab, physical therapy, manual therapy, massage therapy, sports rehab and and ultrasound-guided injections (cortisone, hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma, amnion, stem cells, etc.). Oftentimes, we can utilize a combination of these non-surgical treatments to improve healing and increase performance.
Other hip conditions might require surgery. Most of these can be performed arthroscopically and some with open repairs and reconstruction.

Labral Tear of the Hip (Acetabular Labral Tear)
If your hip joint hurts, or if it catches or clicks when you move your leg, you may have a torn labrum. That’s a rim of tissue that surrounds the hip’s socket. It helps to deepen the socket and cushion the joint. A torn labrum can keep the hip joint from working smoothly.
Hip Arthroscopy
This outpatient procedure is an examination of the inside of the hip joint. The surgeon uses miniature instruments and a small camera (called an arthroscope) to see inside the joint. Arthroscopy can be used to diagnose and treat problems of the joint.
Femoroacetabular Impingement Surgery (Arthroscopic Method)
This surgery fixes problems caused by a poorly-shaped hip joint. That’s a condition known as femoroacetabular impingement. We call it “FAI.” The surgeon will repair your hip without making a large incision.
