At Dr. Michael Sileo Deer Park NY Orthopedic Surgeon, we specialize in treating hip labral tears, a condition that can cause significant pain and limit your ability to move freely. If you’ve been diagnosed with a labral tear and conservative treatments haven’t provided relief, surgery might be the best option to restore your hip function.
What is a Hip Labral Tear?
The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the hip joint, providing stability and cushioning. A labral tear can result from injury, repetitive movements, or wear and tear over time. Symptoms may include:
- Groin pain or discomfort
- Clicking or locking sensations in the hip
- Limited range of motion
- Stiffness in the hip joint
When is Hip Labral Tear Surgery Necessary?
While physical therapy and other non-surgical treatments can sometimes manage the condition, surgery may be necessary if:
- The tear causes persistent pain
- Conservative treatments are ineffective
- There’s a significant loss of mobility
Types of Hip Labral Tear Surgery
- Hip Arthroscopy
This minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions and a camera to repair or remove the torn portion of the labrum. Benefits include:- Shorter recovery time
- Less scarring
- Reduced risk of infection
The Surgery Process
The procedure typically involves:
- General or regional anesthesia
- Small incisions around the hip area
- Insertion of surgical instruments to trim or repair the tear
- Closing of incisions and dressing the wound
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Post-surgery recovery usually involves:
- Rest and Ice: Initial rest and icing of the hip to reduce inflammation
- Physical Therapy: A customized rehabilitation plan to restore strength and mobility
- Gradual Return to Activity: You can expect to return to daily activities within a few weeks, but full recovery may take several months.
