Labrum Flashcards
Labrum ring is completed by ___
Transverse Lig
Anterior half collagen
Thin
Parallel fibers
Posterior half collagen
Thick
Perpendicular fibers
Vascularization
outer 3rd
Functions of labrum
Increase joint depth
Stabilize
Increase congruency
Protect articular cartiliage
How are labral tears classified?
Directional: A vs P
Physical Location: at articular cartilage vs within substance
Labral tear at articular cartilage
Labrum detaches from articular surface.
Advanced tear = cartilage detaches from bone.
Labral tear within substance
Perpendicular thru the plane of the labrum
Risk factors for labrum tear
FAI
Trauma
Hypermobility/laxity
DDH
Degeneration
What types of trauma increase risk of labrum tear?
Femoral head dislocation or subluxation
Hypermobility & capsular laxity can result from what?
Underlying disorders, hormone influences.
Abnormal loading in ER - kicking/twisting sports.
What is FAI?
Compression of anterior-superior labrum.
Compressed btwn acetabulum & anterior femoral neck.
Causes of FAI
Congenital
Acquired from sport
CAM FAI
Most common type of FAI.
Bony overgrowth of femoral neck.
Direct impingement of femoral head on labrum = shear force btwn labrum & articular cartilage.
Pincer FAI
Overhang of anterior-superior rim of acetabulum
