      I am a 38-year-old female who is an avid walker and was recently diagnosed with a labral tear in my right hip. After looking at my x-rays, I was also told that I have "shallow hips" and that they could fix the tear with surgery but more than likely it would tear again within 5 years or so and It would be the same again. He gave me 5 options. 1) Do nothing. 2) Cortisone shots for as long as can take them. 3) Surgery to fix the tear. 4) Acetabular osteotomy. 5) Total Hip Replacement. After asking him about recovery and how long it would take to be up and walking, working, etc. the best option to me would be Total hip replacement. Is this what I should do? I am nervous.
