As a leading surgeon specializing in hip arthroscopy, Dr. Carreira is pleased to be able to share his knowledge with therapists looking for guidance on post operative recovery.
These materials relate directly to postoperative physical therapies for hip arthroscopy, both with and without microfractures, and in the setting of hip instability (microinstability). Physical therapists are welcome to download and use these therapy guidelines for free. Please keep in mind that the recovery protocol should match the surgeon technique particularly as it relates to cutting of the capsule (capsulotomy) and extent of repair of the capsule.
