Atlanta Hip Doctors

Hip pain affects millions of people annually. Early treatment is key to avoiding further complications. At Resurgens Orthopaedics, our Atlanta hip specialists aim to diagnose the cause and develop personalized treatment plans. Schedule an appointment to explore options for your mobility.

Understanding Hip Anatomy

The foundation of your mobility lies in the hip joint, the largest ball-and-socket joint in the body. Imagine a smooth, rounded ball (femoral head) at the top of your thigh bone (femur) fitting snugly into a cup-like socket (acetabulum) in your pelvis. This simple design allows for a wide range of motion, from walking to jumping. But the hip is more than just connecting bones: Powerful muscles surround the joint, providing strength and control for everyday movement. Understanding the hip's structure empowers you to describe your hip pain to your doctor better, and work together to find the right treatment for you.


What Causes Hip Pain?

Due to the hip's complexity, hip pain can originate in many different parts of the joint. Common hip conditions include arthritis, injuries from overuse or accidents, and bursitis, the inflammation of fluid sacs cushioning the joint.

Muscle strains, tendonitis, and bone abnormalities can also contribute to hip pain. If you're experiencing hip pain, our Atlanta hip specialists at Resurgens Orthopaedics can help pinpoint the cause and create a personalized treatment plan.

When Should You See a Doctor For Hip Pain?

If you're experiencing significant hip pain or limitations in movement that affect your ability to sit, stand, or walk comfortably, it's time to see one of our hip doctors in Atlanta. Here are some other symptoms that signal you should see a hip specialist:

  • New or persistent hip pain

  • Difficulty moving your hip or leg

  • Inability to put weight on your leg

  • Hip pain following a fall or injury

  • Sudden swelling or redness around the hip

  • Hip pain accompanied by fever or chills

Understanding Hip Treatments

Patients Trust Our Atlanta Hip Doctors

I was diagnosed with osteo arthritis of the hip a few years ago up north. I put off the surgery for about 3 years but when I moved to Georgia a little over a year ago I decided to look into it again. I was referred to Dr. Yarbrough by a co-worker and couldn't be more happy. He confirmed my diagnosis but wasn't pushy about having the surgery. He gave me plenty of information and offered a couple of treatment options in lieu of replacement surgery. I decided to have the procedure and it was a great decision for me. Dr. Bob was great! i knew exactly what to expect and he was spot on. I would definitely refer him to someone in need of this type of procedure.

I had surgery with Dr. Jeffords and it was 100% successful. I have been pain free for 5 years. I have recommended him to several people in St. Simons where I live .....they have had spine surgery with Dr. Jeffords and they thank me because their surgeries were 100% successful too. He is a GREAT Surgeon...patient, kind, knowledgeable and talented.

Dr. Hall performed both my knee replacement and rotator cuff surgery. He did an excellent job. I would recommend him to anyone. Dr. Hall also does a lot of follow-up and explains everything clearly. He is an extremely pleasant and caring person and a great doctor.

Very knowledgeable and gifted in what he does.Treats patients like a human being not a number (excellence bedside manner.) He listed to what you are saying and orders the necessary tests and records and sits down with you.

THE BEST SURGEON HANDS DOWN! I had a rollover accident while driving a concrete truck. Worker's Comp was paying my medical bills and if you've dealt with worker's comp before, you know how they like to rush the recovery and cut you off financially. Mark McBride took his time to listen, he was compassionate and understanding. My arm was severely hurt and he really does work miracles. I highly recommended him!

If you require a total knee or hip replacement, Dr. Lane is the best. My left knee is perfection and my right knee soon will be. You cannot find a more caring, skilled, and talented doctor.

I have been to this office twice Dr. Doug Widener and all the staff have been absolutely fantastic. Dr. Widener exceeded my expectations and figured out quickly my issues. I have a horrible fear of needles but he managed to relax me enough that it wasn’t so bad at all! Highly recommend this office and Dr. Widener and love that they have a physical therapy unit in the same office!

I am a health care worker working in a top 5 hospital in the US. The healthcare team is not comparable to the staff I encountered today. Dr. T. Baker was so empathetic, took the time to give me the information necessary to facilitate my care. I am terrified of needles (yes healthcare worker); I did not even know when my shot was completed. Definitely will return to this facility for my follow up care.

I had a total knee replacement done by Dr. Ross. I'm relatively young (44), so my recovery was rather fast. As I write this it's been three weeks since surgery and I'm already walking without any assistance. He and his staff are very professional and patient. I am a recovering addict and Dr. Ross was very attentive to this fact. I was initially on Percocet until he switched me to Tramadol. I'm thankful that he was cognizant of my being in recovery by looking out for sobriety.

I had a cervical issue for a number of years and it was seriously affecting my life as a guitarist/musician. The pain and numbness was so bad in my left arm / hand, I was virtually unable to play. After Dr. Bennett Grimm gave me ACDF surgery, I'm completely back to normal. I couldn't ask for better care and expertise than Bennett Grimm. Shout out also to Emily and Chelsey too! amazing work from Resurgens Orthopaedics... you guys totally ROCK!
