Hip Arthroscopy

Treatments for Labral Tears or Impingement

At OrthoNebraska, we develop individual treatment plans based on your health, lifestyle and goals. So, we’ll discuss options with you, but you’ll be a big part of the decision. Depending on your diagnosis and symptoms, we may recommend physical therapy, home exercise, modifying the activities that cause your pain, and medications to help you manage your pain as you improve. At times, a hip injection may provide some temporary relief. Mostly, these treatments will be based on our specific findings regarding the origin of your symptoms, from the type of hip impingement, to labral or other damage to your hip joint.

Non-surgical treatments can work for some patients. However, we want to be realistic and straightforward: if your goal is to be a competitive athlete or remain highly active, hip arthroscopy, a minimally invasive outpatient surgery but with significant downtime and physical therapy to recover, is often required to have a highly performing and functioning hip joint.
