Who is this surgery for?
- Persistent deep groin or hip pain that does not improve with conservative treatments like rest, physical therapy, or injections.
- A feeling of catching, locking, or clicking in the hip joint during movement.
- Instability or a sense of the hip "giving way."
- Diagnosis of Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) where bony abnormalities have caused the tear.
- Traumatic injuries from sports, falls, or accidents.
- Repetitive twisting motions common in sports like golf, hockey, soccer, or ballet.
- Developmental hip dysplasia contributing to labral damage.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including a physical exam and imaging (MRI arthrogram is often used).
- Discuss all current medications (especially blood thinners) with your surgeon; some may need to be paused.
- Cease smoking several weeks before surgery to improve healing.
- Arrange for post-operative assistance at home for tasks like cooking and transportation.
- Begin pre-habilitation (pre-surgery physical therapy) to strengthen surrounding muscles.
- Follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight) prior to the procedure.
Risks & possible complications
- General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
- Nerve or blood vessel damage around the surgical site, potentially causing numbness or weakness.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (blood clots).
- Continued pain or stiffness in the hip.
- Heterotopic ossification (abnormal bone growth in soft tissues).
- Need for further surgery if the repair fails or arthritis develops.
- Rare complications like avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to the femoral head).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial Phase (First 2-4 weeks): Use crutches for partial weight-bearing as directed. Focus on controlling pain and swelling with ice and medication. Begin gentle range-of-motion exercises.
- Intermediate Phase (Weeks 4-12): Gradually increase weight-bearing and start formal physical therapy to rebuild strength, stability, and flexibility. Avoid high-impact activities.
- Advanced Phase (3-6 months): Progress to more dynamic exercises, sport-specific drills, and a gradual return to full activity under guidance.
- Full recovery and return to high-level sports may take 6-9 months. Consistent adherence to the rehabilitation protocol is critical for success.

Typical hospital stay:
1-2 days

Aarav Jones, a 28-year-old high school...
Aarav Jones, a 28-year-old high school soccer coach and former college player, had been living with a deep, nagging pain in his right groin for over a year. It started as a dull ache after games, but progressed to sharp, catching pain with simple movements like getting out of his car or pivoting to demonstrate a drill. He felt a constant sense of stiffness and started avoiding activities he loved, fearing the sudden, debilitating 'catching' sensation. An MRI confirmed a posterior labral tear. His orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Lee, explained that due to the tear's size and Aarav's active lifestyle, arthroscopic labral repair was the best option to restore stability and prevent early arthritis. The surgery itself was outpatient. Aarav was anxious but hopeful. The first two weeks of recovery on crutches were frustrating, but he diligently followed his physical therapy protocol. By month four, he was jogging; by six months, he was carefully returning to soccer drills. A year later, Aarav is back to coaching full-time, pain-free. The emotional journey was a rollercoaster, from the fear that his athletic identity was over, through the impatience of recovery, to the profound gratitude of regaining a pain-free, active life.
