Labrum Tears and Cartilage Loss
⢠Labrum tears and cartilage loss are
common in patients with mechanical
symptoms in the hip
⢠In young, active patients with a
complaint of groin pain
⢠The diagnosis of a labrum tear
should be suspected and
investigated as radiographs and the
history may be nonspecific for this
diagnosis
