I’ve hit up the search bar and found some helpful information, but curious to hear thoughts on holding off until after school season/travel season for surgery.
MRI with contrast confirmed torn labrum two weeks ago. Son says it only hurts doing squats/box jumps (which he hasn’t done in about a month) and occasionally “catches” and will hurt a few days. He hasn’t missed any practices due to pain, nor asked for Tylenol, etc.
The PA we saw says he can play until he decides he can’t…no further damage. He told us they have one dr that does this surgery in their group and recommended getting a second opinion when the time comes. I’ve since talked with another PA in the group (with a different dr) and she says, “As good as our group is and as good of a reputation as we have, get this surgery done elsewhere when that time comes.” This group works directly with a Power 5 school, so that was eye opening.
We are thinking about taking him to the Andrews Sports Medicine Hip Center for a second opinion now and not waiting until later this spring/summer.
Any thoughts or guidance?
