title: Acetabular labral tears.
abstract: Acetabular labral tears rarely occur in the absence of a structural osseous abnormality. Labral tears are frequently associated with lesions of acetabular cartilage such as delamination. Hip arthroscopy is the preferred operative approach in the treatment of labral injuries in the absence of substantial structural osseous abnormalities.
