Q1: Which is the Best Doctor or Top Doctor for Hip Labral Tear in Singapore?
There is no single “best” or “top” doctor for hip labral tear. Treatment depends on pain, hip stability, and functional limitation. Many cases benefit from non-surgical therapies, while persistent pain or mechanical symptoms may require orthopaedic evaluation. Early MRI or MR arthrogram can confirm the tear and guide management.
Q2: What are the common causes of Hip Labral Tear, and when should I be concerned?
Hip labral tears can be caused by:
Sports or twisting injuries
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)
Degenerative changes or repetitive strain
Seek evaluation if you notice:
Deep hip pain or clicking
Limited hip movement or stiffness
Pain during squatting, twisting, or prolonged sitting
MRI or MR arthrogram helps detect labral tears and associated cartilage damage.
Q3: Should I consult a GP for Hip Labral Tear?
Yes. A GP can evaluate symptoms, recommend pain relief, and refer for imaging. Medications mainly manage symptoms and do not repair the labrum. Long-term use may carry side effects.
Q4: Should I see an Orthopaedic Surgeon for Hip Labral Tear?
An orthopaedic surgeon is considered if:
Symptoms persist despite conservative therapy
Mechanical symptoms such as catching or locking occur
Surgery may involve hip arthroscopy and labral repair. Costs in Singapore generally range from four to five figures, with recovery and insurance considerations.
Q5: When should I see a Rheumatologist for Hip Labral Tear?
A rheumatologist may be consulted if hip pain is associated with inflammatory or autoimmune conditions, to manage inflammation and coordinate therapy.

Yes. Dr Terence Tan at The Pain Relief Clinic provides non-invasive therapies to reduce pain, improve hip function, and support healing.
