Hip Labral Tear

A hip labral tear occurs when the labrum, a ring of cartilage that cushions and stabilizes the hip joint, is damaged. This injury can result from repetitive motion, trauma, or degeneration over time. Symptoms often include pain in the hip or groin, a clicking sensation, and difficulty moving the joint. Treatment varies and may involve rest, physical therapy, or surgery to repair the tear. Proper diagnosis and management are essential for recovery and restoring hip function.
