Question 1

could you offer specific rehab advice for a hip labrum tear? no surgery has or will be done :)

Accepted Answer

Depends on details: Hip labral tears occur because of 3 reasons: following traumatic partial dislocation, if there is femeroacetabular impingement (fai), or in young people, hyperlaxity with excessive motion. After trauma, a general hip strengthening program is best. In fai, the positions where the impingement occurs must be avoided. In hyperlaxity, extremes of motion are avoided and muscles are strengthened.

Question 2

how effective is pt to treat labrum tear in hip and quadrus femoris muscle impingement in a patient with ehler-danlos?

Accepted Answer

Not effective: PT is unlikely to help with those diagnoses.

Question 3

my rheumatologist is 99% sure i have a labrum tear in my hip. waiting for a mri to confirm. if i do what would that entail for me?

Accepted Answer

Labral tear: It varies. May consider gentle stretching, weight control, activity modification, nsaids, pt, or possible scope. If significant arthritis associated, may be a candidate for eventual hip arthroplasty.

Question 4

Question 5

what can be done for hip labrum tear in active 60 year old woman? i need to get back to my fitness classes of boot camps and intervals .

Accepted Answer

Hip labrum: Trial with NSAIDs, stretching, avoidance of painful motions or activities. If that doesn't help see an orthopedic dr , consider one interarticular cortisone injection( guided by ultrasound), lastly hip arthroscopy for repair and or partial removal. ( surgery should be attempted by an experienced hip arthroscopist)

Question 6

labral tear-pt & injection haven't helped) surgeon wants to cut hip flexor tendon & repair labrum - is cut necessary? will it create more problems?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends somewhat based upon your problem.  If it is only the label tear itself, then a repair would be sufficient.  He seems to think you also have some pathology if the hip flexor itself, which very well may be the case.

Question 7

mra finding of "cleft" within anterosuperior acetabular labrum extending to choncdrolabral junction.. suggestive of acetabular labral tear means what?

Accepted Answer

Small tear: The labrum is rim of cartilage around the acetabulum which helps stabilize the femoral head in the hip joint socket. Labral tears can develop from chronic wear and tear or more acute injury; in younger patients they are sometimes related to abnormal morphology of the acetabulum or femoral neck, leading to femoroacetabular impingment (fai).

Question 8

does  labrum tear from  postersuperior 10 o'clock position through  superior and anterior labrum down to the anteroinferior 5 o'clock require surgery?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If you do not have pain, popping and instability you do not need surgery.  If you do, have surgery.

Question 9

is it possible to have a partial anterior labrum tear in shoulder?

Accepted Answer

Shoulder : Yes , one can continue to function with a partial label tear.You can rehab with a good shoulder physiologist. Find a good shoulder specialist to monitor your progress

Question 10

is it possible to have an anterior labrum tear without ever  dislocating your shoulder?

Accepted Answer

Labrum injury: With a dislocation, a labral injury called a Bankart lesion or a bony Bankart occurs. However, labral injuries can happen from several types of injuries that include falling on an outstretched hand, violent pulls of the shoulder, etc. Here is some information from the AAOS.
