Question 1

i am having the same hip pain i had before hip surgery, but worse. is it possible i retore my labrum from plahing soccer?

Accepted Answer

Possible: You should contact your surgeon as soon as possible.  Full evaluation is needed to determine the cause of the pain.

Question 2

what is focal 3 mm full-thickness hyaline cartilage defect involving the
superiolateral acetabulum that partially undermines the superiolateral labrum?

Accepted Answer

Cartilage loss: you are describing an area of your hip socket that has lost cartilage. Cartilage is the smooth and slippery lining of our joints that allows us to move our joints freely. The labrum is the lining around the hip socket. Your cartilage defect is in an area that could cause pain and clicking in your hip. Good luck

Question 3

mri rhip says chondrolabral separation of anterosuperior labrum, upsloping of anterosuperior quadrant of acetabulum and acetabular sourcil thickening?

Accepted Answer

Orthopedist would: help you determine whether you need a hip replacement based on the partially torn labrum which is the cartilage that lines the joint in a circular fashion to help cushion the ball and joint movement, or steroid injection to decrease the inflammation and thus pain.   Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 4

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 5

what does "capsular stripping from the lateral margin of the left acetabular labrum region of the dome of the acetabulum" hip mri with contrast?

Accepted Answer

Trauma?: This implies some type of trauma to the capsule, which is the fibrous tissue that holds joint together. Generally should heal conservatively, with time and rest and pt. Should not need surgical intervention if the labrum is not torn.

Question 6

what does the mri finding mean? degenerative tearing of the anterior labrum. diffuse shallow partial-thickness cartilage loss with superimposed deep cartilage loss at the anterosuperior acetabular cartilage associated with subchondral cystic changes?

Accepted Answer

: This finding is one detail showing some degenerative changes of the hip, but it needs to be interpreted in context of the rest of the MRI findings and your physical exam. You should return to the Doctor Who ordered the MRI for further discussion. You might also consider a second opinion. Good luck.

Question 7

what does my mri mean? it says the findings were "subtle intermediate signal of the anterior superior acetabular labrum may be sequela to prior trauma. no convicing displaced tear. small hip joint fluid is identified bilaterally."

Accepted Answer

Basics: The wording just suggests there might have been a minimal injury some time in the past but there is no evidence for a new one now. It just means it appears normal with a little fudge factor thrown in.

Question 8

how do you fix a torn hip labrum without surgery?

Accepted Answer

Depends on severity: The labrum is the rim of cartilage around the hip socket.  If a tear of the labrum is identified, the location and severity of the tear will determine whether the labrum can heal without surgery.  I would recommend a consult with an orthopaedic surgeon who peforms hip arthroscopy to discuss your individual situation.

Question 9

can a person reinjure or tear the labrum of the hip after having a debridement?

Accepted Answer

For sure: Debridement of the labrum means there is remaining cartilage to damage.

So yes - a person can reinjure the debrided labrum, causing another tear.

Question 10

what does  nondisplaced labrum tears in both my hips mean ?  how can i have more than one tear in each hip? and what does this mean ?

Accepted Answer

Labrum tears: The hip labrum has many functions, including shock absorption, joint lubrication, pressure distribution, and aiding in stability, with damage to the labrum associated with osteoarthritis. The etiology of labral tears includes trauma, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), capsular laxity/hip hypermobility, dysplasia, and degeneration. Labral tears present with anterior hip or groin pain, and less commonly buttock pain. Frequently, there are also mechanical symptoms including clicking, locking, and giving way. The most consistent physical examination finding is a positive anterior hip impingement test. Because of the vast differential diagnosis and the need for specialized diagnostic tools, labral tears frequently go undiagnosed during an extended period of time
