  • Anterior Labral Tears With Posterior Hip Subluxation or Dislocation Issue #VOLUME 24, ISSUE 6, 2008
    • Author: Michael K. Shindle, M.D., Bryan T. Kelly, M.D., Clayton G. Lane, M.D., Breehan Kelley, B.A., Russell F. Warren, M.D., and James E. Voos, M.D.
    • Publisher: The Journal of Arthoscopic and Related Surgery

    Chronic pain after hip subluxation or dislocation is common, but the etiology is not always clear. Labral pathology associated with this injury is not well described. A retrospective review was performed and we identified that 13 out of 14 patients had MRI or arthroscopic evidence of an anterior labral tear. As this has not been reported in the literature, anterior labral tears may contribute to posttraumatic pain commonly seen in patients experiencing posterior subluxation or dislocation of the hip.
