Knee & Hip

Not only is the knee the largest joint in the body, but it holds almost the entire human body weight, making it susceptible to injuries. A variety of factors can cause knee pain and knee injury including frequent heavy lifting, body weight, sports and/or older age.

The most common injuries to knees are:

Knee Arthritis
Meniscal Tear
ACL Injury
PCL Injury

Most knee injuries can be treated non surgically, however until the injury is diagnosed, the proper treatment cannot be determined.

The hip joint in the body lies between the femur, the leg bone and longest bone in the human body and the acetabulum socket of the pelvis bone. The hip is responsible for supporting the body and maintaining balance while standing, walking or running. The hip has five major muscles surrounding it including the gluteals, hamstrings, quadriceps, iliopsoas and the groin muscles.

Common injuries to the hips include:

Hip Osteoarthritis
Hip Bursitis
Hip Fractures
Hip Dislocation

Dr. John Jaureguito, a board certified Orthopaedic surgeon, has treated hip pain & injuries for over 16 years. Dr. Jaureguito has performed thousands of hip surgeries and specializes in minimally invasive techniques.

Hip pain and injury can be caused by many different factors such as a trauma, inflammation, bruising, contusions or even pregnancy so it is important to be diagnosed properly to receive the correct treatment. Treatment can include stretching, medication and/or physical therapy. If surgery is required, hip replacement surgery, hip resurfacing or hip arthroscopy may be recommended.
