Summary

This study looks at whether letting people put weight on their hip right after surgery (instead of waiting weeks) helps them recover faster and feel better. About 80 people who had hip arthroscopy for a torn labrum and hip impingement will be followed. Researchers will measure pain, function, and quality of life to see if early walking is safe and effective.
