It takes about 4-6 weeks to recover from soft tissue injury of hip joint. If the soft tissue injury of hip joint is very serious, magnetic resonance imaging is needed. No matter whether the hip joint is muscle strain or ligament strain, surgery is generally not needed, unless the muscle strain is very serious, resulting in avulsion fracture, and X-ray and MRI are needed to see if it constitutes an indication for surgery. Simple ligament and muscle injuries can be treated conservatively, and the repair time of soft tissue injuries is about 4-6 weeks.
