Also known as: Labral tear of the hip.
The labrum is the cartilage ring at the edge of your hip socket. When this ring of cartilage tears, it’s known as an acetabular labral tear. It can cause pain and occasionally snapping.
Labral tears can be caused from a variety of traumatic injuries. They can also be caused by normal activities of daily living if there is an underlying abnormality of the hip or hip socket.
The most common symptom of an acetabular labral tear is groin pain. Occasionally, snapping or locking can also occur.
Conservative treatments include anti-inflammatory medication and physical therapy. If these treatments aren’t successful, open or arthroscopic surgery can treat the underlying problem.
