Acetabular labrum repair is a surgical procedure to address damage to the labrum, a ring of cartilage around the socket of the hip joint (acetabulum). The labrum plays a key role in stabilising the hip joint and ensuring smooth, pain-free movement. Damage can occur due to trauma, repetitive stress, or conditions like femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Indications for Repair: • Persistent hip pain unresponsive to conservative treatments. • Mechanical symptoms like locking, catching, or clicking. • Labral tears identified through imaging (e.g., MRI or arthroscopy). Postoperative Care: • Rehabilitation: Key to recovery. Includes a gradual progression from limited weight-bearing to strengthening and mobility exercises. • Pain Management: Medications or other techniques as needed. • Follow-Up: Regular assessments to monitor healing and joint function. Risks and Complications: • Infection. • Nerve or vascular injury. • Persistent pain or stiffness. • Need for revision surgery in rare cases. Recovery Timeline: • Weeks 1–4: Limited weight-bearing with crutches. • Weeks 4–12: Gradual return to activities, focusing on mobility and strength. • 3–6 Months: Return to most daily activities. • 6–12 Months: Full recovery for high-impact sports or heavy physical activities.
