Do you enjoy exercise or athletic activities like walking, jogging, running, racquet sports, golf, martial arts, yoga, pilates, dance, ice skating, hockey, soccer, and other sports?
Has pain in the hip (groin, buttock, outside of hip, or thigh) limited your ability to enjoy activities or even perform activities of daily living (ADLs) such as sitting, standing, walking, climbing stairs, and pivoting?
Have you tried limiting activities, possibly some over-the-counter medications, physical therapy, a home exercise program, or even an injection? Then a hip arthroscopy may be a viable treatment option.
Femoroacetabular Impingement, or FAI, is a disorder in which extra bone develops along the acetabulum (pincer impingement) or on the femoral head (cam impingement). This bone overgrowth can damage the hip during movement.
Labrum Tears & Impingement result in pain, locking, catching, popping, and/or feelings of instability. The labrum is a cartilage gasket for the hip joint and provides stability. Problematic labrum tears should be treated.
Avascular Necrosis or Osteonecrosis is the loss of blood supply to the ball part of the hip joint.
Bursitis involves an inflamed bursal sac that causes pain.
Chondral Flaps or Chondral Defects are focal defects in the cartilage of the ball or the socket.

A ring of fibrocartilage that lines the outside rim of your hip socket, aka the acetabulum. It cushions the hip joint and serves as a seal to stabilize the hip.
Labral tear pain is often called “C sign” pain and can be located anteriorly, laterally, andposteriorly to your hip joint. It occurs with activity and can also occur with deep flexion such as prolonged sitting, driving, or sitting to standing. You can also experience decreased range of motion and/or a locking or clicking sensation.
Labral tears are most commonly caused from hip impingement syndrome, called CAM FAI. The femur bone often has an area of convexity that impinges on the labrum when you are being active and the leg bone is rotating in your hip socket.
Physical therapy for gluteus, quadriceps and hip flexor strengthening is a good conservative step to help with hip pain. Other options include activity modification, injections, and surgery to repair the labrum.
