What is Hip Labrum Tear?
Hip labrum is a condition caused when the Acetabular or hip labrum is torn from the attachment or damaged. A hip labrum is a cartilage ridge that encircles the socket of the hip joint. The purpose of the labrum is to make the hip socket more stable and deeper. If the labrum gets torn from the attachment, it can cause severe pain, catching or clicking. It can be caused due it a trauma such as accidents, structural abnormalities and repetitive motions common in many sports.
Here are some common symptoms associated with hip labral tears.
- Pain in the groin, buttock or the lateral hip region
- Feelings of leg clicking or catching when the hip socket is moved
- Locking up of the hip during movement
A physiotherapist can assist you in treating hip labral tears by recommending exercises that will restore the range of motion, activate your stability muscles and strengthen the superficial and intermediate muscles. After restoring your muscle strength, you can get back to your routine activities.
