Hip pain, evaluate for labral tear. ACETABULAR LABRUM: There is an abnormal focus of increased signal within the anterior superior aspect of the labrum compatible with a small tear (series 1201, image 3). The remainder of the labrum is intact.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: The bone marrow signal intensity is within normal limits. A small defect within the acetabular articular cartilage at approximately the 3:00 position is thought to represent a pseudodefect rather than a true defect. The remaining acetabular cartilage is intact.SOFT TISSUES: The visualized musculature and soft tissues are within normal limits. ADDITIONAL
Small tear of the anterior superior labrum.
