Hip arthroscopy with labral reconstruction for FAI impingments w/arthritis?
Hey all, first time posting in this sub. I'm trying to make sense of what im supposed to do and whether to go through with surgery or not.
My hip pain is 90% lateral, and not groin. I saw a specialist who recommended arthroscopy with labral reconstruction (both hips have labral tears) left is ossified and has arthritis developing, though im not sure what tonnis grade yet. It was told to me that arthroscopy would NOT help with lateral pain.
"Sclerosis of the acetabular weight-bearing surface on the left side" as well. CAM lesions with deep sockets.
Stiff hips bilaterally. Left 0 degrees internal rotation 45 degrees, external rotation right is 5 degrees to 40
degrees.
Should I be considering extensive physio and hip replacement with a hip specialist or?
Either way im in a pretty good deal of pain most days. Has anyone gone through with labral reconstruction when they had arthritis in there?
Cheers
