Who is this surgery for?
- Labral tears (damage to the cartilage ring around the hip socket).
- Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI), where bone overgrowth causes friction.
- Removal of loose bodies (bone or cartilage fragments) within the joint.
- Treatment of synovitis (inflammation of the joint lining).
- Repair of ligamentum teres injuries.
- Management of early-stage osteoarthritis or cartilage damage.
- Diagnosis of unexplained hip pain when imaging is inconclusive.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough pre-operative medical evaluation, including blood tests and imaging (X-ray, MRI).
- Discuss all current medications, especially blood thinners, with your surgeon; some may need to be paused.
- Stop smoking several weeks before surgery to improve healing.
- Arrange for assistance at home for the first few days post-surgery.
- Follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight before the procedure).
- Plan for transportation to and from the surgical facility, as you will not be able to drive.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection at the incision sites or within the joint.
- Bleeding or formation of a hematoma (collection of blood).
- Nerve or blood vessel injury around the hip, potentially causing numbness or weakness.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or blood clots.
- Continued or unresolved pain and stiffness in the hip.
- Rare complications like avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to the femoral head) or fracture.
- Anesthesia-related risks, such as allergic reactions or breathing problems.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial weight-bearing is often limited; crutches are used for 1-4 weeks as advised.
- Pain is managed with prescribed medications and ice therapy to reduce swelling.
- A structured physical therapy program begins soon after surgery to restore range of motion and strength.
- Incision care involves keeping the area clean and dry; stitches or staples are removed in 1-2 weeks.
- Driving is usually restricted for 2-6 weeks, depending on the hip involved and pain control.
- Gradual return to low-impact activities occurs over 6-12 weeks; full return to sports may take 4-6 months.
- Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and progress.

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....
Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
