Labral Tears

For pain and inflammation related to labral tears, options include:

• Regenerative therapies including platelet-rich plasma injected precisely into the hip joint under image guidance to reduce inflammation, support tissue healing, and improve joint function. Clinical evidence shows meaningful improvements in pain and hip scores in patients who have not responded to physiotherapy alone
• Prolotherapy targeting the capsular and periarticular structures to improve joint stability and reduce pain from associated ligamentous laxity
• Image-guided intra-articular injections to reduce acute inflammation and confirm the joint as the pain source as part of the diagnostic and treatment pathway

To address the mechanical drivers of ongoing symptoms:

• Hip stabilisation and strengthening targeting the deep hip rotators, gluteal muscles, and core to reduce stress on the labrum
• Movement pattern correction to eliminate positions and activities that provoke impingement or labral loading
• Activity modification guidance during the recovery period to allow symptom settling without complete rest

Across all presentations:

• Treating any underlying structural contributor such as femoroacetabular impingement to prevent recurrence
• Reducing dependence on anti-inflammatory medication
• Preserving hip function and delaying or avoiding surgery where clinically appropriate
