Hip Doctor
Dedicated to serving the orthopedic needs of Columbus, North Vernon, Seymour, Greensburg, and the surrounding areas since 1976, Southern Indiana Orthopedics offers exceptional hip care from our specialty-trained hip doctors so you can get stronger.
From fractures to osteoarthritis, hip injuries and wear-and-tear conditions can lead to intense pain and limitation without proper treatment. This pain and restriction in the hip can make it harder to get around and carry out daily tasks. Hip pain can even keep you from a good night's sleep.
Thankfully, patients with hip pain can get relief through specialized treatment. Surgery is not always necessary, and many hip conditions can be resolved through nonsurgical solutions, such as physical therapy and pain management. Chronic hip pain from arthritic conditions is often treated using total hip arthroplasty (total hip replacement) surgery or other surgical interventions.
Surgeons and physicians who specialize in orthopedic care, joint replacement, and sports medicine can determine the cause of a patient's hip ailment and chart the best course toward recovery.
Orthopedic surgeons and hip specialists treat patients with any condition related to hip pain, including:
- Avascular necrosis
- Bursitis
- Damaged cartilage
- Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), or hip impingement syndrome
- Groin pain
- Hamstring injuries
- Hip fractures
- Hip labral tears
- Knee, ankle, and leg injuries affecting the hip
- Muscle injuries
- Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis
- Sports-related injuries
Advanced Hip Care in Columbus, North Vernon, Seymour & Greensburg
When you see one of our hip doctors, the first step will be the diagnosis. This may include taking your medical history and the use of state-of-the-art, on-site imaging, such as X-ray and MRI. Using these tools, our doctors will thoroughly examine your hip joint and find out what's causing the pain in your leg, groin, or hip area. Your doctor will then discuss potential treatment options.
Orthopedic treatments come in different forms. When possible, our specialists will recommend nonsurgical options—helping you avoid hip surgery or a hip replacement. If nonoperative options won't suffice for your hip issue, your hip surgeon can walk you through surgical options. The hip surgery you need will depend on your specific condition. For some cases of osteoarthritis, you may be a candidate for total hip replacement or hip replacement using the minimally invasive anterior approach. Your doctor will be able to determine which surgery will best serve your needs.
Hip replacement surgery is very similar to other joint replacements, such as knee replacement or shoulder replacement. During a hip replacement surgery, your specialty-trained hip doctor will remove the damaged hip joint and insert a new, synthetic hip implant.

Our specialized surgeons have extensive expertise in a broad range of hip treatments, including:
- Anterior hip replacement
- Hip arthroscopy
- Hip fracture fixation (ORIF) surgery
- Hip injections
- Total hip replacement
Our advanced hip arthroscopist, Dr. Eric Tannenbaum, uses the minimally invasive techniques of hip arthroscopy to provide hip preservation procedures for patients with certain hip conditions. Use the button below to learn more about hip arthroscopy.
