What is a hip labral tear? The labrum is the hip
socket that lines the hip socket in which the
thigh bone sits for the hip joint. Made of tough
cartilage, the labrum provides an adequate seal
for the thigh bone to impart flexibility with its
suction-like effect. It facilitates smooth hip
motion in every direction and provides adequate
stability for proper hip functions. And
naturally, when the labral is damaged due to a
tear, the hip motion is massively affected in
addition to pain and tenderness.
