A: Hi, as per the information you have given, last time surgery done was for a labrum tear for about one and halfyear back, well I don?t think the pain now in the same side knee may not be related to the surgery occurred.May be due to some tendinitis the pain must have been started, my advice to you is kindly consult a specialistin orthopaedics and get the examination done for your knee to know the cause....

A: This information is taken from "About.com." A SLAP tear is a type of labral tear most commonly seen in overhead throwing athletes such as baseball players and tennis players. The torn labrum seen in a SLAP tear is at the top of the shoulder socket where the biceps tendon attaches to the shoulder. (A friend of mine just had surgery for this very condition. She was in pain before, but healed quickly after the surgery!) Bankart Lesions A Bankart lesion is a labral tear that occurs when a shoulder dislocates. When the shoulder comes out of joint, the labrum is torn, and makes the shoulder more susceptible to future dislocations. ...

A: 27 views and not 1 replie? Am i the only one going / has gone thru this ? wow i feel screwed This board is slow for some reason. Seriously - I read your post and you''ve done plenty to try and re-hab your shoulder. Sounds like it''s time to get the defect repaired.

A: This is termed a SLAP tear, or superior labrum tear. It is usually repaired in active throwing athletes. It is also a common finding in older patients shoulders and doesn''t necessarily need treatment....

A: The shoulder consists of three bones: the scapula, or shoulder blade, the clavicle, or collarbone, and the humerus, or upper arm bone. The glenoid is the shallow socket where the upper arm rests in the shoulder, and the humerus is stabilized by a glenoid labrum, which also serves as an attachment point for several muscles and tendons. The rotator cuff is a covering over the top of the humerus comprised of four muscles which holds the humerus in place and allows the arm to move and rotate. A shoulder tear is a lesion in any of the shoulder components. A rotator cuff injury is the most common shoulder tear. This can occur as a result of an acute injury and is usually accompanied by a large snapping sound and sudden,...

A: The outer edge of the hip socket is lined with a layer of cartilage tissue called the labrum. The labrum helps to reduce friction in the joint and provide stability. If the labrum is torn due to a sports injury, fall, or degenerative condition like arthritis, an individual can experience significant pain, swelling, and loss of mobility. A minor hip labral tear can usually be treated with anti-inflammatory medication, rest, ice, and flexibility exercises. Severe tears often require surgery to mend the labrum and follow-up physical therapy to regain strength and stability. In most cases, a hip labral tear occurs because...

A: Posterior labral tears are injuries to a specific type of cartilage found only in the body`s socket joints: the shoulders and the hips. A labral shoulder tear is more common than a similar tear of the hip, owing to the greater use of the upper extremities in general and the greater range of motion usually demanded of the joint in everyday use. The labrum itself is a special type of cartilage surrounding a socket, designed to cushion the joint and to increase the depth of the shoulder`s glenoid socket that the ball of the humerus — or upper arm bone — lies within, thereby increasing overall joint stability. Posterior labral tears occur in the posterior, or rear,...

A: Luke There is a small tear on the upper part of the labrum. The labrum is a cartilage ring around the socket part of the shoulder joint that improves the stability of the shoulder. The biceps tendon attaches to the socket of the shoulder and the labrum. The MRI showed that it looked ok. The radiologist saw "tendinopathy" of the rotator cuff tendons. This means they are irritated but they did not appear to be torn. The collar bone slopes down which can sometimes lead to rotator cuff irritation. There was no bone spurs on the collar bone which can also cause rotator cuff irritation. Adam  ...

A: Gladys, The Mayo Clinic provides this information on hip labral tears: "A tear in your labrum, known as a hip labral tear or acetabular labral tear, can result from injury, repetitive movements that cause wear-and-tear on your hip joint, or degeneration, such as from osteoarthritis. In many cases, a hip labral tear causes no signs or symptoms and doesn"t require treatment. Occasionally, however, a hip labral tear may cause pain or a "catching" sensation in the hip joint. When treatment for a hip labral tear is necessary, it may consist of physical therapy,...

A: Acetabular labral tears are not common at all.  You also have ligaments of the hip joint that can tear as well.   The best way to treat this at this point is to rest.  Give it a week, then reassess your pain and mobility.  should you see any bruising or discoloration in your hip/thigh/buttock area, you have torn something and you need to see an ortho. If you start to have pain, go to the ortho. good luck. Bryan...
