Hip Labral Tear

Patient image of: Karl Ahlswede

I went to HSS after finding that a hip labral tear was making it impossible to run without pain. Within two years of my surgery by Dr Kelly I was able to complete two fifty mile trail races as well as finishing the Western States 100 mile Endurance Run. I am grateful to the expertise of Dr Kelly and HSS for getting me back into the game.
