Labral tear: It varies. May consider gentle stretching, weight control, activity modification, nsaids, pt, or possible scope. If significant arthritis associated, may be a candidate for eventual hip arthroplasty.

Hip labral tear?: If MRI confirms a tear, arthroscopic surgery may be able to repair the tear without opening the entire joint. This involves hole for camera, hole for instruments, hole for irrigation. Orthopedic surgeon can explain process more fully. Good luck.

Labral tear: Because almost 3/4 of individuals who are asymptomatic have hip labral tears in a recent published study, there is no cause for panic should your MRI return with a positive labral hip tear finding. Would initiate a pt regimen, ensure that there are no other causes for your hip pain such as a hernia, lower back pain; may consider a cortisone injection into the hip joint as well.
