Women's Health and Pregnancy

There’s a new trend in hip injuries, and the unexpected victims are new mothers. It’s a labral tear – a tear in the cartilage that surrounds the hip joint socket. Ouch, right?! But it’s not the “L” word you’re thinking of (although it is below the belt!). The labrum is part of the hip, and these injuries can create a lot of pain for moms! Dr. Benjamin G. Domb, a nationally renowned hip arthroscopy surgeon and medical director of the Hip Center of Excellence at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital joins the show to offers tips to avoid hip injury when prepping for a new baby and delivery.

Dr. Benjamin G. Domb, an expert in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery, is known nationally as a doctor on the cutting edge of hip arthroscopy—a minimally invasive procedure to repair injuries such as a torn labrum, or impingment, in the hip. Domb, one of the 10 highest volume hip arthroscopy surgeons in the U.S., performs approximately 600 surgeries each year. A graduate of Princeton University and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Domb is medical director at the Hip Center of Excellence at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital. Domb also is a physician at Hinsdale Orthopedic Associates and a member of the faculty at Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine. He often serves as a guest lecturer, most recently as a Visiting Professor at the Mayo Clinic. His passion for sports medicine is rooted in his athletic experience. Domb played basketball for Princeton University and professionally in Spain after college. He also has served as assistant team physician for the Los Angeles Lakers, Dodgers, Kings and Galaxy professional sports teams.
