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.
There are two types of labral tears. A primary or type 1 tear occurs due to a fraying or detachment of the labrum from the rim of the acetabulum. A type 2 tear is a tear within the substance of the labrum, typically caused crushing of the labrum against the neck of the femur by an overhanging rim of the acetabulum (pincer lesion). Code 29916 (Arthroscopy, hip, surgical; with labral repair) describes arthroscopic repair of the torn labrum.
