Frequently Asked Questions
What is FHO surgery and how does it relieve hip pain?
Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) is a surgical procedure where the head (ball) of the femur bone is removed. The body's natural healing response creates a fibrous tissue scar-tissue 'false joint.' This eliminates painful raw bone-on-bone contact, transforming a severely arthritic joint into a comfortable, functional, and highly active limb.
