Q1: Which is the Best Doctor or Top Doctor for Hip Ligament Injury in Singapore?
There is no single “best” or “top” doctor for hip ligament injury. Management depends on severity, functional limitation, and activity level. Most cases improve with non-surgical therapies and physiotherapy, while severe or persistent injuries may require orthopaedic assessment. MRI is crucial to confirm ligament involvement and rule out associated hip joint injury.
Q2: What are the common causes of Hip Ligament Injury, and when should I be concerned?
Hip ligament injuries often result from trauma or excessive strain.
Common causes include:
Twisting injuries during sports
Falls or direct impact to the hip
Sudden overuse or repetitive strain
Pre-existing hip instability
Seek medical attention if you notice:
Hip pain or swelling
Difficulty walking or bearing weight
A sensation of instability or “giving way”
MRI is recommended to confirm ligament damage and rule out labral or cartilage injury.
Q3: Should I consult a GP for Hip Ligament Injury?
Yes. A GP can provide initial pain relief, anti-inflammatory medication, and rest advice. However, medications only address symptoms; they do not repair ligaments. Persistent pain or functional impairment requires specialist evaluation.
Q4: Should I see an Orthopaedic Surgeon for Hip Ligament Injury?
An orthopaedic surgeon should be consulted if:
MRI confirms ligament tear or severe injury
Conservative care fails
Pain or instability affects daily activities or sports
Surgery may be required for severe ligament tears. Costs generally range from four to five figures.
Q5: Should I see a Rheumatologist for Hip Ligament Injury?
A rheumatologist may be involved if ligament injury is associated with systemic joint or connective tissue disorders, which can affect healing.

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