Abstract:

With the rapid development of hip arthroscopy in the past decade, the understanding and treatment of labral tear have been constantly updated. Treatment of labral tear has evolved from the early open labral debridement to arthroscopic treatment, which including labral debridement, repair and labral reconstruction in recent years. Choosing the appropriate treatment method is the main factor to improve the short-term and medium-term clinical efficacy. Acetabular labral tear is a common cause of hip pain, which is often secondary to femoral acetabular impact syndrome, trauma, hip dysplasia, degeneration, hip overactivity and joint capsule relaxation. Treatment of labral tear includes conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Conservative treatment includes rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, altered activity, physical therapy and intra-articular injection. When conservative treatment has no effect, surgical treatment is needed, which includes labral debridement, repair and labral reconstruction. Acetabular labrum injury can lead to dysfunction of the hip joint. Correct diagnosis of labrum injury and appropriate treatment can effectively reduce articular cartilage wear and prevent osteoarthritis or delay its progress.
