going to be tough for him, depending on how much damage was found in there. i went through a pretty rough hip surgery almost 2 years ago, thought it was just a routine labral tear but when they went in the doc found loose bodies, bone spurs and a loss of cartledge along with more damage to the labrum than he expected. ended up using the microfracture technique and it was long recovery. seems like this is becoming a pretty popular (so to speak) injury.
