Common questions

How long does recovery from hip arthroscopy take?

Most people are off crutches within a few weeks and back to daily activities within about six weeks. Return to sports commonly takes three to six months, depending on what was repaired.

Does a hip labral tear always need arthroscopy?

No. Many labral tears are first treated with physical therapy, activity changes, and sometimes injections. Surgery is typically considered when symptoms persist despite those measures.

What is FAI and why is it treated during arthroscopy?

FAI (femoroacetabular impingement) is extra bone on the ball or socket of the hip that pinches the labrum. Surgeons often reshape that bone during arthroscopy to protect the repair and reduce future damage.
