| Popis: | The dilemma for orthopaedic surgeons attempting to solve the problem of treating a knee meniscal tear in an older patient has always been whether or not a conservative approach is of value and if a surgical approach will provide benefit to the patient. Today, the same might be said of hip labral tears. Physical therapy is a wonderful tool to strengthen muscles, but it does not correct underlying pathology, which is often the source of joint pain. In an older patient with a symptomatic internal derangement, it is important for surgeons and payers to recognize that a simple outpatient surgical procedure often can improve that patient's symptoms. |
