Hip Pain, Labral Tears & Osteoarthritis in Dallas–Fort Worth
(Frisco • Allen • North Dallas)
Serving patients from Frisco, Allen, North Dallas, Mesquite & Arlington—minutes from Prosper, McKinney and The Colony.
Overview
Groin stiffness getting out of the car, outer-hip burning on long walks, or a sharp “catch” when pivoting often trace back to hip osteoarthritis (OA), femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) or a torn labrum. Cutting-edge studies show that PRP reduces synovitis and pain, while stem-cell matrix injections can slow—or even reverse—early cartilage loss, delaying hip replacement.
Why Hips Hurt (Top Causes)
Most nagging groin or outer-hip pain traces back to one of five repeat offenders:
Labral fray or tear
the cartilage rim that seals the socket can catch and click with every pivot.
Cam / pincer FAI
extra bone on the femoral head or socket pinches tissue when you flex or rotate.
Early-stage osteoarthritis
thinning cartilage and low-grade inflammation stiffen the joint.
Trochanteric bursitis
the outer bursa flares, causing burning pain when you lie on that side.
Glute-medius tendon overload
weak hip stabilisers pull on their attachment, sparking outer-hip ache.
Common Symptoms
- Aching or stabbing groin pain
- Stiffness after sitting (car, cinema)
- Clicking, catching or giving way during sport
- Reduced internal rotation or hip flexion
Typical Diagnoses
Degenerative
Hip OA (cartilage loss)
Trochanteric bursitis
Biologic Treatment Pathway
Step 1
Intra-Articular PRP (Week 0)
PRP under C-arm fluoroscopy floods the joint with growth factors, easing pain and lubricating cartilage.
Step 2
MSC Cartilage Augment (Week 4)
Autologous MSCs mixed with fibrin scaffold stimulate hyaline-like cartilage growth and modulate catabolic cytokines.
Step 3
PRP Booster
(Week 12)
Maintains anti-inflammatory environment, extending relief for 12–24 months.
Biologic PRP & Stem-Cell Injections vs
Cortisone Shots / Hip Replacement
Biologic PRP / MSC
Primary goal
Calm inflammation and rebuild cartilage
How it’s done
45-min outpatient injection under live X-ray
Relief curve
Builds over 4–6 weeks; many stay better 12–24 months
Downtime
Walk same day; no running or deep squats × 2 weeks
Risks
Very low—your own cells; infection < 0.1 %
Best fit for
Early OA, labral tear, bursitis, sport-related pain
Steroid Shot or Total Hip Replacement
Primary goal
Mask pain / remove damaged joint
How it’s done
Steroid: 10-min clinic shot • Replacement: 1–2 hr surgery under general anaesthesia
Relief curve
Steroid: quick but fades in 3–6 months • Replacement: instant relief, months of rehab
Downtime
Steroid: none • Replacement: walker/cane 4–6 weeks, PT 3 months
Risks
Steroid tendon weakening • Surgical dislocation, implant wear
Best fit for
Severe bone-on-bone arthritis, failed biologic care
Six-Month Regeneration Program
- Three biologic injections
- Class IV laser twice weekly × 6
- Gait-mechanics physiotherapy (glute-med strength, hip-hinge drills)
- Omega-3, collagen peptides, vitamin D
- 3D gait re-assessment and return-to-sport testing at month 6
Self-Care & Rehab Essentials
- Side-lying hip-abduction (3×12/day) to off-load the joint
- Stand-up breaks every 30 min at work
- Stationary cycling over running during early healing
- Weight management: every extra 10 lb adds ≈30 lb joint force
