Hip Labral Tear

Patient image of: Caroline Gourri

After doing a lot of research I decided to undertake my hip surgery with Dr. Buly in June 2017. I had femoroacetabular impingement and some labral tearing in my right hip. As a marathon runner, getting back to my sport was really important to me. I had never had surgery before and Dr. Buly was very kind to me. I was very nervous. After the surgery it was a long road to recovery, but with care and the support of my physiotherapist, I have not only returned to running, but been able to run the fastest marathon of my life so far. If it wasn’t for Dr. Buly, I do not think this would have been possible. Since my surgery I’ve ran two full marathons and am looking forward to running even faster this year.
