Could a meniscus hip tear be cured without surgery?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hip Meniscus???: There is no meniscus in the hip. I assume you are referring to a labral tear. Labrum has a very poor blood supply and will not heal once it's torn. Not everyone who has a tear in the labrum has pain though and it is possible that the pain will resolve over time. Surgery for the labral tear involves debridement/excision of the torn tissue.

Labral repair possib: Labral repair rather than excision is possible in some cases. This is done arthroscopically and is a same day surgical procedure.
