Hip Labral Repair

Hip labral repair is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing a torn or damaged labrum, the cartilage that surrounds the hip joint. The labrum serves as a cushion and stabilizer for the joint, playing a critical role in maintaining hip function. Tears can result from acute injuries, repetitive motions, or degenerative conditions, leading to pain, instability, and impaired mobility.

This procedure is often recommended for patients experiencing persistent hip pain, clicking, or locking sensations that do not respond to conservative treatments like physical therapy and medication. Athletes and active individuals are particularly prone to labral injuries due to the stresses placed on the hip joint during sports and high-impact activities.

During hip labral repair, the surgeon typically performs the procedure using arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique that involves inserting a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions. The steps generally include:

  • Assessment of the hip joint and labrum through imaging
  • Arthroscopic visualization of the joint
  • Cleaning the joint by removing any damaged tissue or debris
  • Reattaching the labrum to the hip socket using sutures or anchors
  • Closing the incisions and initiating a tailored rehabilitation program

Benefits of Hip Labral Repair

  • Restores stability and function to the hip joint
  • Alleviates pain and discomfort associated with the tear
  • Improves range of motion and reduces locking sensations
  • Enables a return to sports and daily activities with minimized risk of re-injury

Hip labral repair is an effective solution for individuals suffering from labral tears, helping them regain hip function and enhance their quality of life through improved mobility and reduced pain.
