About Hip Flexor Strain

A hip flexor strain is a common orthopedic injury involving the stretching or tearing of the muscles at the front of the hip that lift your knee toward your body. This procedure, managed by an orthopedic specialist, focuses on accurate diagnosis and a structured treatment plan to restore function and alleviate pain. Treatment typically begins with conservative measures like rest, ice, compression, and physical therapy to promote healing and strengthen the surrounding muscles. In severe, chronic cases where non-surgical methods fail, surgical intervention may be considered to repair the torn tendon. The goal is a full return to activity, whether for daily living or athletic performance, through personalized rehabilitation.

  • Discussion of medical history, current medications, and any allergies with the healthcare team.

PATIENT REVIEW

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.
