Labrum tear: Damaged labrum may cause arthritis after prolonged periods, but the recommendation for hip labrum repair would be made by you and the orthopedic surgeon. At this time I presume your orthopedic surgeon has made some recommendation. You could always get a second opinion.

Question 6

is it worth it to get the surgery to fix the labral tear in my hip? i can't do any exercise without pain

Accepted Answer

You're the judge: Whether we're discussing medications, minor procedures or extensive ones, you're the best judge as to whether the desired benefit is worth the risk. Talk to your surgeon about what are common complications as well as expected recovery & pain control. Unless there's a tremendous down side, it would seem to me to do something so that you can exercise w/o pain. Perhaps get a 2nd opinion from another.

Question 7

does a partial labral tear (posterior hip) require surgery?

Accepted Answer

Possibly.: If you are having symptoms and you have not responded to conservative treatment.

Question 8

i have had hip athroscopy for minor labral tear, 3 months post surgery i am still in agony. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Hip arthroscopy: "agony" is a strong word so if you are still having this degree of pain, i would have a repeat MRI with contrast (assuming you have no allergy to dye) performed.

Question 9

had hip surgery 18 months ago for labral tear.did 6 months pt &everything was fine until pain walking past week as bad as pre-surgery.bad?need new op?

Accepted Answer

Labral tear: May be as simple as a sprain/strain injury. Re-injuring the labrum from just walking would be unlikely, especially if you recovered fully from the surgery. Recommend rest, anti-inflammatories, low impact activity and a follow-up visit with your surgeon if the symptoms do not improve over 10-14 days

Question 10

labral tear hip surgery 18months ago.pain past month+&had mri-indicated"could represent residual fraying/fissuring or complex re-tear".help me prepare?

Accepted Answer

Hip labral tears: After previous hip labral surgery, it is often difficult (or impossibe) to tell on MRI if there is a new tear versus post-surgical changes. Did you re-injure yourself? If not, unlikely a new tear. Recommend following up with your hip surgeon for further recommendations
