In the United States acetabular labrum tears usually occur in the anterior or anterior-superior area, possibly due to a sudden change from labrum to acetabular cartilage. [2] The most common labrum tears in Japan are in the posterior region, likely due to the customary practice of sitting on the floor.
SLAP is an acronym for "Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior". [1] SLAP lesions are commonly seen in overhead throwing athletes but middle-aged labor workers can also be affected, and they can be caused by chronic overuse or an acute stretch injury of the shoulder.
The acetabular labrum (glenoidal labrum of the hip joint or cotyloid ligament in older texts) is a fibrocartilaginous ring [1] [2] [3] which surrounds the circumference of the acetabulum of the hip, deepening the acetabulum. The labrum is attached onto the bony rim and transverse acetabular ligament. It is triangular in cross-section (with the ...
The acetabular labrum reduces the size of the opening of the acetabulum and deepens the surface of the hip joint. At the lower part of the acetabulum is the acetabular notch , which is continuous with a circular depression, the acetabular fossa , at the bottom of the cavity of the acetabulum.
The FABER test is useful when diagnosing concurrently with a labral pathology and is considered positive if the position elicits pain. [17] Additional non-invasive ways to observe possible FAI is changes in gait that include a lower peak hip extension and internal rotation to compensate for bony growth. [18]
Labral reconstruction is a type of hip arthroscopy in which the patient's native labrum is partially or completely removed and reconstructed using either autograft or allograft tissue. Originally described in 2009 [ 1 ] using the ligamentum teres capitis, arthroscopic labral reconstruction using a variety of graft tissue has demonstrated ...
A SLAP lesion (superior labrum, anterior to posterior) is a tear where the glenoid labrum meets the tendon of the long head of the biceps muscle. Symptoms include increased pain with overhead activity, popping or grinding, loss of strength, and trouble localizing a specific point of pain. [ 3 ]
Senile degenerative changes may be accompanied by calcification. The inherited disorder pseudoxanthoma elasticum may lead to angioid streaks with calcification of Bruch's membrane , the elastic tissue below the retinal ring.
