The hip is a ball and socket joint that is subjected to pressure as it bears the body weight while walking and is capable of a large range of motion. Also, it can be prone to the risk of labral tears that show a great impact on the normal life of an individual. Athletes involved in high impact sports are more prone to the risk of labral tears. Hip labral tear treatment with surgery involves longer periods of recovery and post-treatment complications that might be difficult to manage.

Stem cell therapy for hip labral tear is an advanced non-surgical treatment option that avoids the need for surgery. Also, Super concentrated platelets (SCP) therapy has widely practised for hip labral tear treatment. Our orthobiologics have an immense capacity to repair the damaged tissue and regenerate healthy one without the need for surgery to the joint. Currently, stem cell therapy and SCP therapy are the best non-surgical treatment options for a hip labral tear.

Hip labral tear

The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint where the femoral head is the ball and socket is the acetabulum. The hip labrum helps the femoral head to move freely within the hip socket. Any damage to the labrum that covers the acetabulum causes hip labral tears. When the condition is left untreated for longer periods of time, it can lead to complications, such as development for osteoarthritis.

Structural deformities that occur due to the wear and tear of the cartilage are the leading cause of hip labral tears. Any trauma to the hip joint resulting from an accident or contact sports, such as hockey and football, can result in hip labral tears. Sports like soccer, ice hockey, football, and ballet that include running and sudden twisting can eventually lead to wear and tear of the joint, thereby increasing the chance of developing hip labral tears.

Hip labral tears can cause hip pain and groin pain, which might even lead to instability. Also, the pain gets worsened on standing, sitting, or walking for long periods of time. In some cases, hip labral tears might not show up any signs and symptoms. People suffering from hip labral tears can experience a clicking or locking sound in the hip joint.

When medication and physical therapy fail to treat the condition, the doctor would recommend surgery for labral tears. Treating hip labral tear with surgery often remains challenging due to the post-treatment recovery and complications resulting from it.

Advanced orthopedic therapy for a hip labral tear

The use of stem cells is an effective treatment option to fix hip labral tears without surgery. Hip labral tear treatment with stem cells is an advanced therapy that utilizes the patient’s autologous stem cells to heal the damaged tissue. Stem cell therapy for hip labral tears is a safe and effective procedure where one need not worry about any side effects nor post-procedure complications.

The orthopedic physicians who deliver regenerative treatments are specially trained to administer stem cells and SCP injections. The injections are administered into the site of injury with the help of image-guided techniques like X-ray fluoroscopy and ultrasound. With the help of these techniques, the doctor makes sure that the injections are precisely administered into the damaged area of the hip.

Super concentrated platelets (SCP) therapy for hip labral tear

Super concentrated platelets or SCP therapy releases growth factors in the injured area to enhance tissue repair mechanisms. SCP for torn hip labrum is an advanced non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment method that heals the damaged tissue with simple needle-based injections.

The blood platelets are collected from the patient’s body and concentrated in a lab to prepare a high-dose SCP injection for hip labral tears. In the cases where the condition is severe, the doctor would recommend a combination of stem cells and SCP injections for better and faster response to the treatment. This combination has all the desirable components that are essential to regenerate the tissue and help to heal the labral tears faster. The patients who received a combination therapy experienced faster recovery.

Stem cell therapy and platelet therapy are the promising treatment options to avoid the burdens and risks associated with traditional surgical methods. Both stem cell and SCP for a torn labrum repair the labral tears by restoring the joint integrity.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is regenerative medicine?

Regenerative medicine is a process of replacing and regenerating human cells to restore the normal function of the tissues and organs. It uses therapeutic agents like cytokines & growth factors to stimulate the body’s own repair process. Regenerative medicine provides an effective non-surgical solution for surgery and surgical implants that often involve lengthy procedures with extended recovery and rehabilitation.

Does Super concentrated platelets (SCP) for hip labral tear work?

SCP for hip labral tear is an effective non-surgical therapy that utilizes one’s own blood platelets to treat the condition. Platelets are high in growth factors that enable tissue repair and regeneration. In SCP therapy, platelets collected from the patient are processed in the laboratory to obtain a concentration solution. The concentrated platelets contain 15 to 20 times more growth factors that ease the tissue repair, thereby reducing the pain resulting from hip labral tear and healing the tissue.

Do we need to follow a specific diet post stem cell and SCP treatment for hips?

Regenerative therapy involving stem cells and SCP procedure does not require any specific post-treatment diet. However, consuming healthy and nutritious food is always an added benefit to help the body heal faster from the injury. Eating nutritious food during the recovery and rehabilitation periods is important to regenerate healthy tissue better.

Does torn hip labrum require medications after treatment?

The post-treatment care of Regenexx therapy is minimal. The procedure does not require any specific medications after the treatment. However, the use of certain supplements is recommended for better healing and regeneration of the tissue.
