After undergoing surgery and due to the effects of the medications for the anesthesia and pain control, patients may not remember well all that is discussed in the first hours after surgery. For this reason, I have added the postoperative instructions for foot and ankle onto my website www.hipfootankle.com.

The instructions regarding hip arthroscopy for the treatment of labral (labrum) tears, FAI (femoroacetabular impingement), and other causes of hip pain are provided prior to surgery as part of the hip arthroscopy information packet.
