What is Hip Arthroscopic Labral Repair?

A torn labrum in the hip can lead to pain, instability, and reduced mobility, affecting both athletes and active individuals. Hip arthroscopic labral repair in San Diego is a minimally invasive procedure that involves suturing and reattaching the damaged labrum to restore joint stability and prevent further deterioration.
At SPORT, Dr. Sanjum Samagh and our compassionate, expert team specialize in advanced labral repair techniques that promote faster healing and long-term joint preservation. This procedure, which uses hip arthroscopy, minimizes disruption to surrounding tissue, leading to a quicker recovery and improved joint function.

What Causes a Hip Labral Tear?

Labral tears can develop due to the following:

  • Sports Injuries – Repetitive pivoting, twisting, and high-impact movements can damage the labrum.
  • Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) – Abnormal bone growth in the hip joint can cause friction, leading to tears.
  • Trauma – Falls, car accidents or direct impact injuries can result in labral damage.
  • Structural Abnormalities – Congenital hip issues or joint instability can increase the risk of labral tears.
  • Degenerative Wear and Tear – Aging and repetitive strain can gradually weaken the labrum.
If you experience hip pain, clicking, locking, or instability, Dr. Samagh, a top San Diego orthopedic specialist, can determine if hip arthroscopic labral repair is the right solution.

Am I a Good Candidate for Hip Arthroscopic Labral Repair?

You may benefit from labral tear surgery in San Diego if:

  • You have persistent hip pain that worsens with activity.
  • You experience hip instability, catching, or clicking sensations.
  • Conservative treatments like physical therapy and PRP injection therapy in San Diego haven’t provided relief.
  • You want to return to an active lifestyle or competitive sports.
For some patients, hip arthroscopic labral debridement (removing damaged tissue) or labral reconstruction may be considered if repair is not possible. Dr. Samagh will customize the best treatment plan for your specific injury.
