Get information: If you have only a labral tear with normal articular surfaces, an arthroscopy may help. If there is extensive articular degeneration, a hip arthroplasty is indicated. A total hip will restore your motion, strength, and function better than anything else. You do need to know options regarding implant type and bearing surfaces before hand and pick a surgeon skilled in total hip arthroplasty.
