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.
A labral tear of the hip may be caused by falls, injuries from accidents or general wear and tear, including doing sports with a lot of hip rotation, such as golf swings. Not everyone will get symptoms of a labral tear, but symptoms include: Pain - in the groin, upper leg, and/or buttock.
