Labral Repair

Labral repair is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing a tear in the labrum, a cartilage structure that surrounds and stabilizes joints, particularly in the shoulder and hip. It often involves reattaching the torn labrum to the bone to restore joint stability and function. This surgery can help relieve pain, improve mobility, and prevent further joint damage. Recovery typically involves physical therapy and a gradual return to normal activities. Labral repairs are commonly performed on athletes or active individuals experiencing joint pain due to injuries or repetitive stress.
