Cartilage Tears

Typically seen with FAI, cartilage tears can cause instability of the hip, pain, and can continue to get bigger without treatment.

Hip Arthroscopy can be used to trim out the unstable cartilage, or possibly perform a microfracture of the bone to stimulate the growth of new cartilage.
