Hello,
What I can understand from your opinion of what the orthopedic surgeon said is that you may have an inflammation of the labral region for which surgery may not require at present. So that the reason why he has suggested physiotherapy and injections. I would suggest you wait for the radiologist report, and then reconsult your surgeon if any doubts.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
