About Major Soft Tissue Release of Hip

A Major Soft Tissue Release of the Hip is a specialized orthopedic surgical procedure designed to address severe contractures, stiffness, and functional limitations of the hip joint. It involves the precise surgical lengthening, release, or recession of tight muscles, tendons, and ligaments surrounding the hip, such as the iliopsoas, adductors, and abductors. This procedure aims to restore a greater range of motion, alleviate chronic pain, and improve overall hip biomechanics and gait. It is commonly performed for conditions like cerebral palsy, post-traumatic stiffness, or advanced arthritis where conservative treatments have failed. The surgery can be performed using open or arthroscopic techniques, tailored to the patient's specific pathology.

Key Highlights

    Significantly improves hip range of motion and flexibility.Alleviates chronic pain and discomfort associated with hip contractures.Corrects gait abnormalities and improves walking ability.Can prevent long-term joint damage and deformity.Often leads to enhanced mobility and quality of life.May be performed using minimally invasive (arthroscopic) techniques in select cases./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Severe hip flexion, adduction, or internal rotation contractures, often seen in cerebral palsy.

  • Advanced osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis causing significant soft tissue tightening.
  • Failed conservative management including physical therapy, medications, and injections.
  • Hip dysplasia with associated soft tissue imbalances.
  • Conditions like Perthes disease or slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) with secondary contractures.

How to prepare

  • Complete pre-operative medical evaluation, including blood tests and imaging (X-rays, MRI).
  • Discussion of medical history and all current medications with the surgeon; some may need to be paused.
  • Pre-operative physical therapy to optimize muscle condition.
  • Fasting for 8-12 hours before surgery as instructed.

  • Over-correction or under-correction of the deformity.
  • Recurrence of the contracture over time.
  • Hip joint instability or stiffness.
  • Heterotopic ossification (abnormal bone growth in soft tissues).
  • Persistent pain or need for further surgery.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial hospital stay for pain management and monitoring.
  • Use of crutches or a walker for several weeks to protect the hip.
  • Immediate post-operative physical therapy to begin gentle motion and prevent stiffness.
  • A structured, progressive rehabilitation program for several months to regain strength and mobility.
  • Regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing and progress.
  • Adherence to activity restrictions as advised by the surgeon, avoiding high-impact activities initially.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
