10 Causes of Hip Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #6: Labral Tears
The labrum is the name used to describe the cartilage that surrounds the joints in the hips. The labrum keeps the thigh bone planted within the socket of the hip, and it’s immensely important for maintaining your range of motion.
Unfortunately, a number of things can lead to tears in the labrum. Things like traumatic injuries, excessive repetition, and genetics can lead to the labrum tearing. A torn labrum can contribute to pain and a ‘catching’ sensation similar to those felt by patients experiencing snapping hip syndrome.
