The Florida Hip Preservation Society exists to advance thoughtful, patient-centered hip care through expertise, collaboration, and shared commitment to preserving function and quality of life.

We believe optimal outcomes are achieved when surgical and non-surgical specialists work collaboratively - aligning diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and return-to-function strategies. This team-based model supports holistic care that addresses not only anatomy, but movement, performance, and long-term joint health.

All board members of the Florida Hip Preservation Society are also members of the International Society for Hip Preservation (ISHA), the leading international organization dedicated to hip preservation research, education, and clinical excellence. This connection ensures our society remains aligned with global standards, innovation, and evolving best practices.

Hip Preservation vs. Hip Replacement

Purpose and Role of the Florida Hip Institute

The Florida Hip Institute functions primarily as a professional medical society rather than a patient-facing medical practice. Its core value lies in authority, legitimacy, and credibility within the field of hip preservation.

What Is Hip Preservation?

Hip preservation encompasses the diagnosis and management of structural, biomechanical, and soft-tissue conditions of the hip and pelvis—often in younger or active patients—before progression to end-stage arthritis. Conditions commonly addressed include femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral pathology, acetabular dysplasia, deformity-related hip disorders, core muscle injuries, and complex hip–spine interactions.

Treatment Strategies

Hip arthroscopy

Open hip preservation procedures (including safe surgical dislocation and periacetabular osteotomy [Ganz procedure])

Deformity correction and complex reconstructive techniques

Core muscle and pelvic pathology management

Integrated care for hip–spine disorders
