What is a Hip Labral Tear? A hip labral tear occurs where there is damage to the labrum within the hip joint. The hip joint is where the thigh bone (femur) meets the pelvis (Ilium). It is described as a ball-and-socket joint. This design allows the hip to move in several directions. The bony socket is surrounded by a ring of cartilage called the labrum.
Injuries to the tissue rim surrounding the shoulder socket can occur from acute trauma -- such as a fall onto an outstretched arm -- or from repetitive shoulder motion. Throwing athletes or weightlifters can experience glenoid labrum tears as a result of repetitive shoulder motion. Symptoms The symptoms of a tear in the shoulder socket rim are very similar to those of other shoulder injuries.
