Labral Repairs

Protective Phase: 0-8 weeks post operative range of motion restrictions

Foot flat weight bearing limited to approximately 20 pounds for two weeks, then can progress to WBAT with crutches
Passive range of motion in all planes, no adduction past midline or end range rotation
Active range of motion in sagittal plane to 90 degrees of flexion and frontal plane to 25 degrees of abduction
Core muscle stabilization exercise; should be initiated on the mat table
Isometric strength work within pain free limits, should be initiated around the hip without weight bearing
Week 0-3 Exercises
Week 3-6 Exercises
Week 6-8 Exercise

Restorative Phase: 8-12 weeks post operative

WBAT by this time
Progressive range of motion to normal limits, mobilization and passive stretching should not encourage hypermobility of the hip joint, aggressive rotation or adduction should be limited
Piriformis, illiopsoas and gluteal flexibility normalized
Progressive close chain strength work starting in the sagittal plane and moving to multiplanar activities
Proprioceptive deficits are progressively addressed
Highly compressive or high load activities (i.e. running) are avoided
Week 8-12 Exercises

Functional Phase: greater than 3 months post operative
