Hip Arthroscopy

Preparing for hip arthroscopy surgery begins weeks and sometimes months before the surgery date. Here are just a few things you should expect.

Initial Surgical Consultation
Preoperative X-rays, a complete medical history, a complete surgical history, and a complete list of all medications (i.e., prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin supplements) and allergies will be reviewed.

Complete Physical Examination
Dr. Rogerson will ask that you have a physical examination with your family physician to assist with optimization of medical conditions prior to the surgery. This will ensure that you are in the best physical condition possible on surgery day.

Physical Therapy
If deemed necessary, instruction in an exercise program to begin prior to the surgery, as well as an overview of the rehabilitation process after surgery, will better prepare you for postoperative care.


Personal Preparation
Loose-fitting clothing is recommended. Please bring with you, to the hospital, the following three pieces of information:
     1) Insurance
     2) A list of all your medications and dosages
     3) A list of all your drug allergies

Evening Before Surgery
It may be recommended that you do not eat or drink after midnight. You may also be asked to take some of your routine prescription medications with only a sip of water.
