Labral Tear of the Shoulder. The labrum is a piece of fibrocartilage (rubbery tissue) attached to the rim of the shoulder socket that helps keep the ball of the joint in place. When this cartilage is torn, it is called a labral tear. Labral tears may result from injury, or sometimes as part of the aging process.
The labrum can also tear when there is osteoarthritis in the hip, as a part of the overall degeneration of the joint. When there is a labral tear due to osteoarthritis, treatment is usually geared towards treating the arthritic joint as a whole. What Are the Symptoms of a Labral Tear? Labral tears often cause pain in the groin or front of the hip during physical activity or with deep flexion (bending) and rotation of the hip. Some individuals with labral tears of the hip will also have clicking or a sense of catching deep within the hip during certain activities. How Are Labral Tears Diagnosed?
