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.
The labrum can tear as a result of trauma or with wear and tear. The normal labrum is a smooth ring of tissue that surrounds the socket of the shoulder. Labral tears are often caused by a direct injury to the shoulder, such as falling on an outstretched hand. The biceps tendon attaches to the top part of the labrum. The biceps is the large muscle on the front of your upper arm.
