Here are five things to know about preventative care of athletes’ hips and returning from hip surgery, according to the article:
1. The team says they take preventative care due to being able to see femoroacetabular impingement on the head of the femur with X-Rays and MRIs, and these lead to labral tears.
2. Through research of FAIs, the team has chosen to proactively take care of them.
3. Around 50 players had X-rays on their hips last fall, and about 70 percent had varying hip issues.
4. This indicated a widespread problem with the head of the femur and its location in the hip socket.
5. Recovery from hip surgery can be a long process, with most players not returning to fully functional play for five to six months, Mr. Zeis told The Dallas Morning News.
