Abstract

The hip labrum is a triangular fibrocartilage structure attaching along the outer rim of the acetabulum that assists in the prevention of femoral head subluxation. The majority of labral tears are cryptogenic; most are gradual in onset secondary to repetitive microtrauma. Etiology is case specific and rests upon proper history, physical exam, and appropriate diagnostic studies. Symptoms may include a locking, clicking, or catching sensation, pain, and/or reduced range of motion. Initial imaging includes plain radiographs of the hip evaluating bone and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the labrum. Treatment is primarily with conservative management utilizing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), intra-articular glucocorticoid injections, and physical therapy.
