Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hi all, I have an acquaintance with a hip labrum tear (most likely MVA, but it has only now been dx'd...about 6 mo after MVA). He has been making very slow progress...and would like to get a name for an orthopod to look at the MRI (taken by his primary care doc, but I guess he doesn't trust her referrals?) I haven't seen the films, don't know the severity, don't know if this is a slow heal or a surgery option... Any opinions/recommendations? Thanks, Robin Schaefer, Aurora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 We too have used Dr. Philipon but Vail is too far for most. Dr. Ellis who trained under him was here but moved away. I prefer referring to specialists for this type of injury. I’d first try Dr. Hikes. s. fuchs dc From: Dr. Ted Forcum [mailto:TForcum@...] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2008 10:35 AM Sharron Fuchs; BERNICE FREEMAN; ; drrobindc Subject: RE: ?referral for hip labrum tear?

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I just spoke with Dr. Hikes office and he does not do the labral tear surgery. They referred to Dr. Ellis who now has moved. So the area might be missing a hip speicialist for this type of work. Dr. Mark Wagner or Dr. Greg Irvine might be worth trying. s. fuchs dc From: Sharron Fuchs Sent: Monday, October 06, 2008 10:57 AM Subject: RE: ?referral for hip labrum tear?
