A member asked:
Labral tear-pt & injection haven't helped) surgeon wants to cut hip flexor tendon & repair labrum - is cut necessary? will it create more problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends somewhat based upon your problem. If it is only the label tear itself, then a repair would be sufficient. He seems to think you also have some pathology if the hip flexor itself, which very well may be the case.
