A hip labral tear affects the labrum or the ring of cartilage that encircles the external rim constituting the socket of your hip joint. In addition to offering buttress to the hip joint, the labrum acts like a gasket or rubber seal to sustain the ball above your thighbone in a secured fashion inside the hip socket.

Note that athletes participating in sports like soccer, football, golf, ice hockey, or ballet are more predisposed to develop hip labral tears.

Also, structural irregularities in the hip may give rise to a hip labral tear.

Symptoms 

A number of hip labral tears often occur without causing any signs or symptoms.

However, a few people are found to exhibit one or more of the following symptoms.


o

A feeling of pain in your hip or groin which frequently gets worse after long spells of standing, sitting and walking

o

A sensation in which the hip joint seems to have got locked, clicked, or caught

o

Stiffness in your hip joint

o

Structural abnormalities 

A number of people are found to inherit hip problems that speed up the wear and tear of the hip joint and ultimately give rise to a labral tear.

Repetitive motions 

Different physical activities, especially those related to sports such as running for long distances, or abruptly done twisting or pivoting actions most commonly practiced during golf or a softball match can result in the wear and tear of the hip joint which eventually gives rise to the contraction of a hip labral tear.

Treatment 

Orthopaedic doctors in Gurgaon say that the treatment for hip labral tear is conditional on the severity of the symptoms.

While a few people get cured with traditional treatments within a span of some weeks, others may be in need of arthroscopic surgery for repairing or removing the torn labral portion. o

o

Medications 

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), for example, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, etc. can offer pain relief and bring down inflammation.

Moreover, by injecting corticosteroid doses in the affected joint, pain can be managed in the interim.

Therapy


o

By collaborating with a physiotherapist at an orthopedic hospital you can learn exercises that help maximize the range of motion of your hip and enhance its core strength and stability.

Also, therapists can enlighten you on how to fight shy of certain movements that exert stress and pressure on your hip joint.

Surgical and several other procedures 

Assuming that traditional treatments have failed to assuage your symptoms your orthopedic surgeon in Gurgaon may come up with a recommendation for arthroscopic surgery in the midst of which surgical tools and a fiber optic camera are inserted into the hip joint by making tiny incisions in your skin.

Contingent on the exact cause and the severity of the tear, the surgeon may consider the removal of the torn portion of the labrum or repair of the affected tissue by stitching it back in place.


Complications associated with the surgery may include the following. 

Infection

Blood loss

Injury to nerves

Repetitive symptoms given that the repair fails to heal well
