A member asked:
An mri revealed "suspected left acetabular labral tear." is mra the next step or can diagnosis be confirmed by orthopedic exam?

MRA is 4 vascular. : It is usually done 4 head/brain study. I would not think it would be done 4 a labral tear but i would go by the recommendations of ur treating orthopedic surgeon.

Not MRA: Mra looks at vessels, and would not be appropriate for this problem. Please see your orthopedic surgeon. You might need an arthrogram (even an mr arthrogram) to further diagnose the problem.
