To schedule an appointment, call the Duke Appointment Hub at 919-613-7797 and request a visit with Dr. Scott. You can also fill out an appointment request online and a Duke Health scheduler will call you to create an appointment.

Dr. Scott is a Duke Sports Medicine provider and sees patients at the James R. Urbaniak Sports Sciences Institute at the Center for Living Campus in Durham, North Carolina.

Dr. Scott is a fellowship trained Sports Medicine and Hip Preservation surgeon specializing in minimally invasive surgery around the hip. She performs hip arthroscopy and endoscopy around the hip, and a variety of other open procedures for injuries around the hip and pelvis. She is also trained to perform knee and shoulder procedures to treat sports medicine injuries like meniscal tears, kneecap instability, and shoulder labral injuries. For hips with advanced arthritis or severe dysplasia that are found to not candidates for hip arthroscopy she has several partners in the Hip Preservation division at Duke University whom she partners with for hip replacement and pelvic osteomies (PAO).

Surgeries are scheduled at the Duke Ambulatory Surgery Center in Durham, just off of NC-147. This hospital-based outpatient surgery center offers both same-day and overnight (23 hour) stays for hip surgery patients.

New patient appointments are available Tuesdays and Fridays.

Dysplasia is when the hip socket is shallow. If the hip socket is too shallow it can cause pain and instability, which often needs to be treated with a procedure to rotate the hip socket into its ideal place. Some people have just a tiny bit of dysplasia - this is called "borderline dysplasia" because the hip is "on the border" between being very shallow and being 'normal'. Every patient with borderline dysplasia is unique and there is no 'one size fits all' solution. Careful evaluation of your imaging, physical exam, history and response to other treatments like physical therapy and injections help determine if hip arthroscopy is the right procedure for you, or if you need other procedures like a periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) to provide more bony stability in the hip joint.

Yes! Many professional athletes, dancers, performers and military personnel have returned fully to their sport or activity after hip arthroscopy surgery. Patients work with a physical therapist and Dr. Scott after surgery to make sure they are fully ready to return to their sport, typically 4-6 months after hip arthroscopy.

Arthroscopy is minimally invasive surgery of a joint. During arthroscopic surgery a small camera is used to view the joint through small poke-hole incisions (portals). After evaluating the joint, other specialized arthroscopic surgical instruments are used to perform the specific procedures needed, such as labral repair.

Care with Dr. Scott and her colleagues does not end because you have some arthritis on your x-ray. Dr. Scott sees many second opinions and can review your images and medical history to determine if hip arthroscopy is an appropriate procedure for you. Complex cases may be reviewed by the entire hip preservation team to determine what path is most appropriate. It is the goal of the Hip Preservation team to make sure all patients receive the treatment they need for their hip; no one is 'dismissed' because they are young and have arthritis, or are older but not yet ready for a hip replacement.

If you have hip pain or a known hip injury and you do not have severe arthritis you may be a candidate for hip arthroscopy. Minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery is used to repair labral tears, femoro-acetabular impingement, cartilage injuries, instability, snapping hip, gluteus medius and minimus tears, hamstring tears, and other injuries around the hip. Dr. Scott will evaluate your images, medical history and condition to determine if hip arthroscopy is a safe and appropriate procedure for your injury.
