Hip Labral Tear Treatment in Maryland

Find orthopedic specialists who treat hip labral tear in Maryland

A hip labral tear is damage to the ring of cartilage (labrum) that lines the rim of the hip socket. The labrum acts as a seal, keeping the ball of the thigh bone firmly within the hip socket. Labral tears are increasingly recognized in active adults and athletes, particularly those involved in sports requiring repetitive hip rotation - but can also occur from structural abnormalities like femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

Common symptoms of hip labral tear

  • Pain in the groin or front of the hip
  • Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting, standing, or walking
  • A clicking, locking, or catching sensation in the hip
  • Stiffness and limited range of motion
  • Pain during or after athletic activity
  • A feeling of hip instability

When to see a specialist

See a hip specialist if you have persistent groin or hip pain lasting more than a few weeks, especially with a clicking sensation or pain that worsens with sitting. Hip labral tears can worsen over time without treatment.

Treatment options

Physical therapy

Hip strengthening and stability exercises to reduce stress on the labrum. Often the first line of treatment.

Anti-inflammatory medication

NSAIDs to manage pain and swelling during the acute phase.

Corticosteroid injection

Injection into the hip joint to reduce inflammation and provide diagnostic confirmation.

Hip arthroscopy

Minimally invasive surgery to repair or trim the torn labrum and address any underlying impingement. Recommended when conservative treatment fails.

Recovery timeline

Physical therapy: improvement in 8-12 weeks. Hip arthroscopy: crutches for 2-4 weeks, physical therapy for 4-6 months, return to sport at 4-6 months.
