What is the labrum?
The labrum is a fibrocartilaginous ring found in the shoulder (glenoid labrum) and hip (acetabular labrum) that plays a key role in joint stability and function. It deepens the socket, increasing joint congruency and reducing the risk of dislocation. Additionally, it acts as a shock absorber, distributes load, and helps maintain negative intra-articular pressure for enhanced stability. The labrum also contains mechanoreceptors that aid in proprioception and joint lubrication. Due to its limited blood supply, labral injuries, such as tears, can lead to pain, instability, and decreased function, often requiring physical therapy or surgical repair depending on severity.
A labral tear in the hip joint disrupts normal arthrokinematics, leading to excessive femoral head translation, instability, and altered glide-roll mechanics. The loss of the labrum’s suction effect increases joint laxity, causing abnormal stress on the articular cartilage and accelerating degenerative changes. Proprioceptive deficits from the tear can lead to compensatory movement patterns and muscle imbalances, often resulting in overactivation of stabilizing muscles like the iliopsoas while weakening gluteal function. These changes contribute to pain, dysfunction, and increased risk of osteoarthritis, ultimately impairing mobility and joint longevity.
