Hip rehabilitation
When can running and ball sports resume after hip arthroscopy?
Author: Dr. Jiwu Chen
Doctor’s answer
Timing depends on what was treated, such as labral repair, bony impingement reshaping, or cartilage work. Gait, range of motion, and hip strength usually come first, followed by graded running. Cutting, contact, and sport-specific training should wait for functional assessment.
