There are physicians specializing in minimally invasive hip joint surgery over there?
I apologize for the intrusion, but I would like to ask the physician for some advice.
Recently, I visited a large hospital in Taichung for an examination, and the doctor mentioned that they do not have the equipment or perform minimally invasive hip joint surgery.
He recommended that I go to Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taipei for treatment and further examination.
However, it seems he misremembered the name, and I am unable to locate this physician.
Could you please suggest a doctor and a hospital that perform this type of surgery? My preliminary symptoms seem to indicate a hip joint cyst or a pure tear of the hip joint, similar to the symptoms of baseball star A-ROD.

Conditions like hip joint cysts or labral tears can lead to significant pain and functional limitations. A comprehensive assessment typically involves imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans to visualize the structures of the hip joint and confirm the diagnosis.
Minimally invasive hip surgery, often performed arthroscopically, allows surgeons to address various hip joint issues with smaller incisions, resulting in less postoperative pain and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgeries. This approach is particularly beneficial for conditions like labral tears, impingement syndromes, and certain types of cysts.
If you are considering this type of surgery, it is advisable to consult with Dr. Jan Yi-Sheng or another orthopedic specialist at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. They can provide you with detailed information about the surgical options available, the risks and benefits associated with each procedure, and the expected recovery timeline.
Additionally, it is essential to discuss your specific symptoms and medical history with the physician. This information will help them tailor a treatment plan that best suits your needs. If surgery is deemed necessary, the surgeon will explain the procedure, including the techniques used, anesthesia options, and postoperative care.
In summary, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taipei is a reputable institution for minimally invasive hip surgery, and Dr. Jan Yi-Sheng is a qualified specialist in this field. It is crucial to seek a consultation to discuss your symptoms and explore the best treatment options available for your condition.
