Hip Labral Tear

Hip Labral Tear Treatment in Seoul | Gangnam NANOORI Hospital

What is a Hip Labral Tear?

A hip labral tear is an injury to the labrum, the ring of cartilage that lines and stabilizes the hip joint. This condition can cause hip pain, stiffness, and limited movement, often affecting athletes, active individuals, and those with hip abnormalities like Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI).

At Gangnam NANOORI Hospital, our orthopedic specialists provide expert diagnosis and advanced treatment for hip labral tears, offering both non-surgical and minimally invasive surgical options to restore mobility and relieve pain.



Common Causes of Hip Labral Tears

  • Repetitive Hip Movements – Common in sports like running, soccer, and dance.
  • Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) – Bone abnormalities in the hip joint leading to excessive friction.
  • Hip Trauma or Injury – Car accidents, falls, or direct impact to the hip joint.
  • Structural Abnormalities – Congenital hip deformities or dysplasia increasing tear risk.
  • Osteoarthritis – Cartilage degeneration contributing to labral damage.



Symptoms of a Hip Labral Tear

  • Hip or groin pain that worsens with activity.
  • Clicking, locking, or catching sensation in the hip.
  • Reduced hip range of motion and stiffness.
  • Instability or weakness in the hip joint.



Diagnosis at Gangnam NANOORI Hospital

To accurately diagnose a hip labral tear, our specialists use:
✔ Physical Examination – Checking pain levels, mobility, and hip function.
✔ X-rays – Identifying bone abnormalities like FAI or arthritis.
✔ MRI with Contrast (MRA) – Detecting labral damage and soft tissue injuries.
✔ Diagnostic Injections – Using local anesthesia to confirm the pain source.


Hip Labral Tear Treatment Options

Non-Surgical Treatments

Mild to moderate tears may improve with conservative treatments such as:

  • Physical Therapy – Strengthening hip muscles and improving mobility.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Medications (NSAIDs) – Reducing pain and swelling.
  • Corticosteroid Injections – Providing temporary pain relief.
  • Activity Modification – Avoiding movements that strain the hip.



Minimally Invasive Surgery: Hip Arthroscopy

If symptoms persist, hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure to repair or remove damaged labral tissue. Surgical options include:

  • Labral Repair – Stitching and reattaching the torn labrum.
  • Labral Debridement – Trimming and smoothing frayed labral tissue.
  • Labral Reconstruction – Replacing severely damaged labral tissue.
  • FAI Surgery (If Needed) – Removing excess bone to prevent further labral damage.
