Orthopedic Surgeon Discusses Hip Arthroscopy | West Boca Medical Center

[@YvetteMarais-x6n]

Thank you for a very informative explanation of hip arthroscopy and causes of hip pain. I’m day 1 post-hip arthroscopy for a labral tear and the pain is a fraction compared to the last 2 weeks prior surgery. The labrum was shredded and removed. The surgeon did the micro-fracture technique instead. I had a lot of pain in my knee- distal femur at the end of the day. No more knee pain!

Hi, Dr. Hersch. If I may ask, is intense pain common (in backside of the hip toward the butt area) after a microfracture surgery? And if so is it common for the pain to be worse for the first couple months than before surgery?
