Gain Relief From Chronic Hip Pain with Dr. Samagh’s Expertise in Encinitas
What is Hip Bursa Removal (Bursectomy)?
Hip bursa removal in San Diego, also known as hip bursectomy, is a minimally invasive hip surgery designed to relieve chronic hip pain caused by trochanteric bursitis. The bursa is a fluid-filled sac that cushions the hip joint and reduces friction between the tendons, muscles, and bones. When it becomes inflamed due to overuse, injury, or underlying conditions, it can cause persistent discomfort.
Dr. Samagh, considered the best hip specialist in San Diego, performs hip bursectomy arthroscopically, removing the inflamed bursa while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. This approach provides long-term pain relief and allows patients to return to an active lifestyle.
Should I Consider Hip Bursa Removal?
You may be a candidate for hip bursectomy in San Diego if you experience:
- Persistent lateral hip pain that worsens with activity or pressure
- Swelling or tenderness over the hip
- Pain that hasn’t improved with physical therapy, injections, or medication
- Difficulty sleeping on the affected hip
- Reduced mobility due to inflammation and discomfort
For patients with chronic trochanteric bursitis who haven't responded to conservative treatment, hip bursectomy can provide lasting relief by eliminating the source of inflammation.
