Hip Labral Repair in New Jersey

Hip labral repair surgery typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the tear and whether additional procedures (like FAI treatment) are needed. The procedure is performed arthroscopically using small incisions, and most patients can go home the same day.

Most patients can return to light activities within 2-4 weeks and low-impact sports within 3-4 months. Full return to high-impact sports typically takes 4-6 months. Dr. Feghhi will clear you for sports only when you've met specific rehabilitation milestones.

Some minor labral tears can improve with conservative treatment including rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications. However, larger tears or tears causing significant symptoms typically require surgical repair for optimal outcomes. Dr. Feghhi will recommend the best approach for your specific condition.

Common symptoms include deep groin pain, hip stiffness, a clicking or locking sensation in the hip, and limited range of motion. Pain may worsen with prolonged sitting, walking, or pivoting movements. If you're experiencing these symptoms, Dr. Feghhi can evaluate you and determine if a labral tear is the cause.

Hip labral repair has a success rate of 75-90% for appropriate candidates. Success depends on factors like tear size, underlying hip anatomy, patient age, and adherence to rehabilitation protocols. Most patients experience significant pain relief and improved function after surgery.
