Am I a Candidate for Hip Arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy, also referred to as keyhole or minimally invasive surgery, is a procedure in which an arthroscope is inserted into a joint to check for any damage and repair it simultaneously.
An arthroscope is a small, fiber-optic instrument consisting of a lens, light source, and video camera. The camera projects images of the inside of the joint onto a large monitor, allowing Dr. Okoroha to look for any damage, assess the type of injury and repair the problem.
Dr. Okoroha has extensive training in hip arthroscopy and provides this service for patients in Dallas, Richardson, Frisco, Highland Park, Plano, Las Colinas and beyond.

Hip Preservation
Hip preservation surgery is most suited for young active patients who have suffered wearing away of the cartilage tissue in the joint due to injury, wear-and-tear or certain diseases.
Shoulder Stabilization
Frequent dislocations of the shoulder joint can lead to chronic shoulder instability. Surgery to stabilize the shoulder may be recommended when conservative treatment options such as medications, rest and ice application fail to relieve the condition.
ACL/Meniscus Surgery
Athletes, especially those involved in contact sports, are at risk of meniscus tears due to trauma (sudden bend or twist in the knee). Degenerative meniscal tears are common in the elderly due to age factor.
