Patients bring up pain, limited mobility, and clicking noises as primary concerns. Additionally, they may have different leg lengths, a limp to their walk and have limited hip flexion. The pain can also be worsened by performing certain motions and/or dull (does not subside). Male patients will frequently experience femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) that is responsible for hip labral tears. This involves the femoral head pinching against the acetabulum. Female hip labral tears stem from hip dysplasia, or improperly developed hips. This causes the femoral head to partially or completely fall out of the shallow acetabulum. Those playing sports like ballet, basketball, football, golf, gymnastics, hockey, soccer are at an increased risk because collisions and extreme pressures (turns and twists) on the hip are more prevalent. Hockey goalies in particular are more vulnerable because of their tendency to internally rotate and adduct their hips which stresses the hip labrum. Other risk factors include aging, falling and hip hypermobility. Those who still experience pain and stiffness after attempting non-surgical treatments like anti-inflammatory medications and physiotherapy become candidates for labral repair surgery.
