Hip Labral Tears: Increasingly Recognised
The acetabular labrum is a ring of fibrocartilage that deepens the hip socket. Labral tears are a common cause of hip and groin pain in athletes, particularly in sports involving repetitive hip rotation: cricket, football, hockey, and dance.
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)
Most labral tears in athletes are associated with FAI -- abnormal contact between the femoral head and acetabular rim. Cam impingement (excess bone on femoral head) or Pincer impingement (over-coverage by acetabular rim) cause mechanical impingement of the labrum.
Physiotherapy Conservative Management
Activity Modification
Temporarily avoiding deep hip flexion, impact, and rotation while establishing the physiotherapy programme.
Hip Strengthening
Gluteus medius and maximus strengthening reduces femoral head migration and labral impingement forces -- the cornerstone of conservative management.
Movement Pattern Retraining
Correcting hip mechanics in sport-specific movements that create repetitive impingement.
