Hip Labral Tear

Olga Torrey

I had two surgeries done by Dr. Benedict Nwachukwu for tear of the right acetabular labrum and tear of the right gluteus medius tendon on April 27th, 2021. A friend strongly recommended that I go to HSS to see medical help after sustaining a snowboarding injury. After reading his impressive medical career, I have chosen to see Dr. Benedict Nwachukwu. I was under the care of high professionals: physical therapist Joseph Malizia, Dr. Benedict Nwachukwu, and his medical staff. I felt safe and believed that I would have a complete comeback to my many sports activities. I am back to scuba diving, and I am looking forward to riding my snowboard and doing downhill skiing next skiing season. I am grateful to the medical staff of HSS for putting me back in my tracks and the care I needed.
