Hip Arthroscopic Labral Reconstruction in San Diego
Restore Hip Stability and Function with Advanced Labral Reconstruction from Dr. Samagh
What is Hip Arthroscopic Labral Reconstruction?
Hip arthroscopic labral reconstruction in San Diego is a specialized procedure designed to restore the labrum when it is too damaged for repair. The hip labrum is essential for joint stability, shock absorption, and function. Severe or irreparable tears can cause persistent pain, instability, and limited mobility. This procedure replaces the damaged labrum with a graft, providing long-term relief and improved joint mechanics.
At SPORT, Dr. Samagh, the best hip arthroscopic labral reconstruction surgeon in San Diego, utilizes minimally invasive techniques to reconstruct the hip labrum. Our goal is to help patients regain mobility, eliminate pain, and return to the activities they love with the best possible outcomes.

Do I Need Hip Arthroscopic Labral Reconstruction?
You may be a candidate for hip arthroscopic labral reconstruction in San Diego if you experience:
- Chronic hip pain that doesn’t improve with conservative treatments
- Hip instability, clicking, or catching sensations
- A previously repaired labrum that has failed
- A severely damaged or deficient labrum due to injury or degeneration
- Hip impingement (FAI) or structural abnormalities affecting joint function
Labral reconstruction is recommended when a simple repair is not possible. By replacing the damaged labrum, this procedure improves joint stability and prevents further deterioration.

What to expect from hip Labral Reconstruction Surgery
before surgery
Dr. Samagh, a top hip specialist in San Diego, will perform a detailed evaluation, including MRI and X-rays, to assess your hip condition. If reconstruction is the best option, he will develop a personalized surgical plan to restore joint function.
during surgery
The procedure is performed arthroscopically using specialized instruments. A donor graft (either from your tissue or a cadaver) is carefully placed to reconstruct the labrum, restoring stability and cushioning within the joint.
recovery
Most patients go home the same day and may need crutches for several weeks. Our advanced physical therapy program, combined with regenerative treatments, will help rebuild strength and mobility. Most patients resume daily activities within six to eight weeks, with full recovery in four to six months.
FAQs About Hip Labral Reconstruction Surgery
How do I know if I need hip labral reconstruction instead of labral repair?
Hip labral reconstruction is recommended when the labrum is too damaged to be repaired effectively. If the existing tissue is severely frayed or deficient, reconstruction using graft tissue provides better long-term stability and joint function.
What is the recovery time for hip labral reconstruction?
Recovery typically takes four to six months, with crutches needed for the first few weeks. A structured physical therapy program helps restore strength and mobility, allowing most patients to return to full activity within six to nine months.
Will I be able to return to sports after hip labral reconstruction?
Yes, many athletes and active individuals successfully return to their sports after completing rehabilitation from hip labral reconstruction in Encinitas. The key to a successful return is following a progressive recovery plan to regain hip strength, flexibility, and stability.
