As the instruments as well as techniques for hip arthroscopy have developed, the interests and understandings of acetabular labral tear have also increased. As a consequence, the diagnosis itself was increased. However, it is still difficult to be diagnosed accurately in an ordinary clinic. In this brief review, the clinical and radiological characteristics and diagnostic implications of acetabular labral lesions were described to help the surgeon to make a right decision.

The iliopsoas bursa lies between the iliopsoas tendon and the anterior hip joint capsule and is difficult to detect by ultrasonography in normal setting. However, some of them communicated with the hip joint and the iliopsoas bursitis can be detected as a reflection of intra-articular pathology. We report two cases of acetabular labral tear accompanied with the iliopsoas bursitis detected by ultrasonography.

Tearing of the acetabular labrum is a common cause of chronic hip pain. MR arthrography (MRA) of the hip is the imaging procedure of choice for the evaluation of acetabular labrum. Familiarity with the various imaging findings of MRA of the hip allows recognition of normal variants and differentiation from true pathologic conditions. This article comprehensively reviews the technical aspects and interpretation of MRA of the hip. The appearances of normal and abnormal labra in MRA are discussed. Potential pitfalls in labral tear interpretation, such as sulci around the hip, normal variants of the labrum and plicae, and osseocartilaginous and soft tissue lesions identified on MRA of the hip are also described.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate diagnosis and treatment of acetabular labral tears in sports injuries. Materials and Methods: From March 1995 to January 2000, We treated 15 patients with acetabular labral tear by sports injuries. There were 6 men and 9 women. Mean age was 41 years old. Running injuries are 5 cases, fighting 3, aerobic exercise 3, swimming 2, climbing 1, bicycle 1. For conservative treatment, we performed medication and observation at least for 1 year. For the patients with arthroscopic surgery, we performed Harris Hip Score (pain and function) preoperatively and postoperatively at 6, 12 months, and evaluated patient’s pain by JOA pain scoring system and postoperative subjective satisfaction. Results: The mean score of HHS improved 15 points with conservative treatments and 32 points with hip arthroscopy. In 4 cases of conservative treatment, there was 1 scale improvement of JOA pain scoring system. In arthroscopic partial labrectomy, all cases were improved to more than 2 scale. Conclusion: We considered that acetabular labral tears occurred associated with sports injuries. So it is important to be interested in enthusiastic diagnosis and appropriate treatment for hip pain caused by sports injuries, especially about acetabular labral tears.

Purpose : We analyzed the effectiveness of arthroscopic diagnosis and treatment for painful hip in young patients caused by labral tear or synovial disease. Materials and Methods : From May 1997 to June 1998,7 young patients who had painful hip were diagnosed by history, physical examination, radiologic studies(including plain films, MRI, MR arthrogram) and arthroscopy. We treated the lesions by arthroscopic surgery and followed up for more than 1 year. Results : On arthroscopy, the labrum was torn in 6 cases and chronic synovitis was found in 1 case. After arthroscopic surgery, pain was eliminated completely in 5 cases and mild pain remained in 2 cases, respectively. But there was no limitation in activities of daily living and athletic performances. Conclusion : Arthroscopy is effective in diagnosis and treatment of labral tears and synovial diseases in young patients.
