How long to recover from hip repair surgery?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Arthroscopy?: If you mean repair of the labrum in the hip arthroscopically, typically pro athletes return to play at an avg of 4 months postop. Most normal folks get back to complete full activities by 4-6 months. If cartilage restoration work is involved, the rehab can be longer.

Depends: Would have to know more details regarding nature of procedure to answer question. Arthroscopic hip surgery with labral repair and bone reshaping requires anywhere from 4-6 months for full return to sporting activities. Return to day to day work activities with exception of strenuous labor on order of 4-6 wks.
