A member asked:
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?

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.
