How do I know whether my surgeon can treat my Hip Labral Tear and FAI? – Derek Ochiai, MD
Many times, the diagnosis of a hip labral tear is made by someone other than an orthopaedic surgeon. This could be your primary care doctor, OB/GYN doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor, or another health care provider. They might refer you to an orthopaedic surgeon for treatment of your hip pain. Nowadays, patients can choose which orthopaedic surgeon they see for definitive treatment of their hip condition.
