Is hip arthroscopy a major Treatment?

It is a surgical procedure, but because it is minimally invasive, there is significantly less muscle damage, less pain, and a much faster recovery than traditional open hip Treatment.

What is a labral tear?

The labrum is a rubbery ring of cartilage that helps hold the ball of your hip in its socket. A tear can cause severe groin pain and clicking.

Can a labral tear heal on its own?

Because the labrum has a very poor blood supply, tears typically do not heal on their own and require arthroscopic repair or removal of the torn piece.

How long does the Treatment take?

Hip arthroscopy usually takes between 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the repairs needed.

Will I need to stay in the hospital?

Most hip arthroscopy procedures are done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home the very same day.

Will I be on crutches afterward?

Yes. Depending on the extent of the repair, you will likely need crutches for 2 to 4 weeks to protect the hip while it heals.

How long is the total recovery time?

You can expect to return to desk work within a week or two, but returning to full, unrestricted sports usually takes 4 to 6 months of dedicated physical therapy.

Does it cure hip arthritis?

No. Hip arthroscopy is generally not recommended for advanced osteoarthritis, as it cannot replace worn-away cartilage. It is best for younger patients with structural issues like impingement.

Will I need physical therapy?

Absolutely. Physical therapy starts almost immediately after Treatment and is critical to regaining your range of motion and hip strength.

Risks are very low but can include temporary nerve numbness (from the traction used to open the joint during Treatment), infection, or blood clots.

What is Hip Arthroscopy Surgery?

Hip Arthroscopy is a highly advanced, minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows the surgeon to see and operate inside the deep hip joint without making a large incision.

Using a specialized camera (arthroscope) and miniature instruments inserted through "keyhole" incisions, Dr. Jayaswal can meticulously repair labral tears, remove bone spurs (impingement), and clean out inflamed tissue, allowing for a much faster recovery than traditional open hip Treatment.
