See hip specialist: Depending on the type of hip stress fracture you may need:1) rest and crutches for 6-8 weeks or longer or 2) surgery followed by around 3-4 months for recovery before resuming sports. Or 3) worst case scenario partial hip replacement if complications result....The labrum tear needs to be addressed by a hip arthroscopy specialist and may need: 1) nothing done or 2) injection or 3) surgery.

See an orthopedist : The combination of a stress fracture and a torn labrum makes your case challenging. There are different types of stress fractures, some of which require surgery, some don't. Same with labral tears you need to be evaluated by your orthopaedic surgeon and discuss your treatment options thoroughly.

Fracture priority: First priority is the fracture. See an ortho doc immediately. This can cause significant probs if not treated. Some stress fx's of fem neck need surgery. Once fracture is dealt with, then deal w the labrum. If surgery needed for stress fx, then possible surgery for both at same time if ortho doc does arthroscopy too.
