Abstract

Labral tear is a source of hip pain in young age. Incidence of labral tear is very high. Hip Labrum is a specialized fibrocartilage tissue that surrounding the acetabular rim as a "O" shape ring and increased its depth. It has a main role to maintain the intraarticular pressure of synovial fluid and also has a critical role in hip joint stability.Hip arthroscopy has increased in popularity tremendously in the last ten years. Despite difficulties in joint access and patient positioninig and the fact that these type of surgery is high technical demanding, orthopedic surgeons trend is changing toward hip arthroscopy. For decades this injuries left untreated or treated with open surgical procedures but with evolution of the hip arthroscopy techniques, these years majority of these cases treated through modern new arthroscopic methods. we decided to explain the current concept of labral tear repair in the hip joint in this review article.
