Your ability to move and any pain you feel while moving can help the doctor diagnose the patient.
Imaging tests help doctors diagnose hip labral tears:
### X-rays
With this method, pelvic bone problems such as femur impingement or arthrosis, which can be effective in causing hip pain, are diagnosed.
### MRI
With this diagnostic method, more details can be seen in soft tissues....MRI shows the location of the tear and the severity of this complication.
How is a labral tear treated? A labral tear does not heal on its own. However, solutions such as rest and other treatments can help control the symptoms caused by the tear.
Non-surgical treatments include:
### Anti-inflammatory drugs
Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen reduce inflammation.
### Drug injection
A pain specialist can inject drugs such as steroids into the hip joint to reduce symptoms.
### Physiotherapy
Special physiotherapy exercises to stretch and strengthen the pelvic muscles help relieve pain... This treatment method should be prescribed by a doctor.
If the symptoms continue or the tear is severe, the doctor will finally recommend surgery for the patient. This method is a minimally invasive surgery in which the doctor makes small incisions in the hip joint and uses special tools.
The result of hip labral tear treatment
The rate of recovery from a labral tear depends on the severity of the injury and how it is treated, which is as follows:
### Non-surgical solutions
Treatments such as anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy do not treat the cause of the disease, they only reduce pain and are a treatment option for minor tears..
Some people will need more treatments after a while.
### Surgery
In some cases, hip arthroscopy relieves the pain caused by a labral tear and leads to the return of hip function...
Many patients recover completely within 4 to 6 months after surgery and are often able to do sports activities.
### Arthritis
Chronic conditions such as arthritis should be managed and treated by a pain specialist to prevent more severe symptoms.
