Hip Surgery Review
The review organizes the proposed hip procedure with the symptoms and painful motions you report, your functional limits, prior care, and written imaging report.
What goes into the review
The review looks at the location and behavior of your symptoms, the motions that reproduce them, the treatment already completed, and the written findings available.
When the information supports it, the report may identify muscle, tendon, nerve-pain mimics, or movement priorities for focused in-person evaluation.
For people who have not had hip surgery, whether surgery has been discussed or not.
For persistent symptoms after hip surgery or another surgery being considered in the same region.
A written result for discussion with your treating rehabilitation and surgical professionals.
Hip procedure families
Hip replacement addresses the joint more broadly. Hip arthroscopy may include labral work, cartilage treatment, bone reshaping, or tendon procedures.
Total hip replacement for the joint target named in the recommendation.

Each percentage describes a specific study population. Open the study details to see who was studied, what was measured, and how the result should be read.
of volunteers without hip pain had a labral tear reported on MRI
Population: 45 asymptomatic volunteers who received high-resolution hip MRI.
Finding in context: Labral findings were common in people without symptoms, so location, motion, and examination remain important.
Register et al., American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2012 →avoided hip arthroscopy after physical therapy for microinstability
Population: Adults with hip microinstability who began hip and core strengthening with a home program.
Finding in context: 29.8% of the followed cohort later underwent arthroscopy. This was a retrospective case series.
Ejnisman et al., American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2022 →reported success at one year after education and exercise for gluteal tendinopathy
Population: 65 adults with persistent lateral-hip pain and MRI-confirmed gluteal tendinopathy at one-year follow-up.
Finding in context: 51 reported success. This study concerns lateral-hip tendon pain, not labral tears or femoroacetabular impingement.
Mellor et al., BMJ, 2018 →Hip replacement, hip arthroscopy, and lateral-hip tendon care address different targets. The review keeps those questions separate.
