Hip Labral Repair

Hip labral repair is a surgical procedure to fix tears or damage to the labrum, a ring of cartilage that surrounds the hip socket. The labrum helps stabilize the hip joint and cushions the bones. During the procedure, the surgeon typically uses tiny instruments to repair or remove the damaged tissue, sometimes sewing it back together. This repair aims to reduce pain, improve hip function, and prevent further joint damage. Recovery involves a period of rest, physical therapy, and gradual return to activity, with the goal of restoring normal hip movement and reducing discomfort.
