Hip Procedures
The hip enables us to bend and straighten our body and move our lower limbs. Dr. Shahan Yacoubian routinely performs hip procedures using advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art technology. He incorporates Augmented Reality (AR) navigation, one of the most advanced innovations in hip surgeries, allowing for real-time precision during surgery. This modern approach represents the next evolution beyond traditional robotic platforms, enhancing accuracy while maintaining surgical flexibility.
When to consult with Dr. Shahan Yacoubian regarding your hip:
- You have already been diagnosed with hip arthritis (osteoarthritis) and are experiencing pain.
- When you walk, you feel unstable and have difficulty keeping balance.
- You are hearing your hip clicking, catching and locking which prevents you from moving easily.
- You have previously had a hip replacement and you are now experiencing pain and difficulty moving.
- You break your hip bone due to an accident or a sudden fall
Total Hip Replacement Surgery
Total hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) is a highly advanced procedure in which Dr. Shahan Yacoubian restores the hip joint using precision-engineered implants. Trained at Harvard and specializing exclusively in hip and knee replacement, Dr. Yacoubian utilizes advanced surgical techniques and technology—including augmented reality navigation—to optimize implant positioning and function. Each procedure is carefully tailored to the patient, with a focus on reducing pain, restoring mobility, and delivering durable, long-term outcomes.
Anterior Hip Replacement Surgery
Dr. Shahan Yacoubian frequently performs hip replacement using the anterior approach, a refined, muscle-sparing technique that accesses the joint from the front of the body. By working between muscles rather than disrupting them, this approach is designed to minimize pain, reduce tissue trauma, and support a faster, more seamless recovery. When combined with advanced technology, this technique allows for enhanced precision and improved functional outcomes.
Posterior Hip Replacement Surgery
The posterior approach remains a trusted and highly effective technique, offering excellent visualization of the hip joint and allowing for precise implant placement. Dr. Yacoubian leverages advanced surgical planning and technology to ensure accuracy and consistency, delivering reliable, long-term results tailored to each patient’s anatomy and needs.
Revision Hip Replacement Surgery
Dr. Shahan Yacoubian specializes in complex revision hip surgery, an advanced procedure used to correct or replace a failing hip replacement due to wear, loosening, or complications. These surgeries demand a high level of expertise and precision. With over 1,000 hip and knee revision procedures performed, Dr. Yacoubian combines extensive experience with advanced surgical technology to restore stability, relieve pain, and optimize long-term performance.
Hip Fracture Surgery
Hip fractures require timely, expert surgical care. Dr. Shahan Yacoubian provides individualized treatment based on the specific fracture pattern, utilizing advanced fixation techniques or joint replacement when appropriate. His approach prioritizes precision, safety, and efficient recovery, helping patients regain mobility and return to daily life with confidence.
Hip Scope (Hip Arthroscopy) Surgery
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows Dr. Shahan Yacoubian to diagnose and treat hip conditions through small, precise incisions. Using advanced visualization technology, he is able to address joint pathology with accuracy while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissue. This approach supports less postoperative discomfort and a quicker return to activity.
