Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a recently proposed mechanism causing abnormal
contact stresses and potential joint damage around the hip. In the majority of cases, a bony …

Hip pain can be caused by multiple pathologies. Injuries to the acetabular labrum are the
most common pathologic findings identified at the time of hip arthroscopy. Five causes of …

Purpose The acetabular labrum is theorized to be important to normal hip function by
creating intra-articular fluid pressurization through the hip fluid seal. However, the effect of a …

Labrum pathology may contribute to early joint degeneration through the alteration of load
transfer between, and the stresses within, the cartilage layers of the hip. We hypothesize that …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this prospective randomized study was to compare the outcomes
of arthroscopic labral repair and selective labral debridement in female patients undergoing …

Background: Recent advances in the understanding of the anatomy and function of the
acetabular labrum suggest that it is important for normal joint function. We found no …

We explored the mechanical factors leading to the formation of labral tears and the effect of
these lesions on hip kinematics at the extremes of joint motion. Using a 3D motion analysis …

Morphological and spatial abnormalities of the proximal femur and acetabulum have been
recently recognized as causes of femoroacetabular impingement. During joint motion in hips …

The hip labrum has many functions, including shock absorption, joint lubrication, pressure
distribution, and aiding in stability, with damage to the labrum associated with osteoarthritis …

Methods to predict contact stresses in the hip can provide an improved understanding of
load distribution in the normal and pathologic joint. The objectives of this study were to …
