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.
Tears of the labrum from the front-bottom portion of the glenoid typically occur with a dislocated shoulder. This particular tear is coined a Bankart lesion. The major stabilizing ligaments of the shoulder attach to this portion of the labrum, the inferior glenohumeral ligaments (IGHL). Tears of the posterior labrum can occur either from a dislocation, fall, or overhead sports. Tears cause laxity of the capsule at the top-back portion or the inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) at the bottom-back portion of the shoulder. Posterior Labral Tear and Instability.
