A ring of cartilage that surrounds the acetabulum, the socket of the hip joint, is called the labrum (meaning lip). It makes the socket deeper.
A labrum tare, or labral tear for those who speak English, is an injury to the cartilage of the hip or shoulder joint.
The most common way to repair a labral tear in the hip is through a surgical procedure called a hip arthroscopy. The surgical code for this procedure is 726.5.
A labral tear is is when the ligaments that are attached to the labrum in the shoulder become torn. It can be caused by a shoulder injury or just from simple everyday over use of ones shoulder.
The Achilles tendon is neither bone nor cartilage. It is, unsurprisingly, a tendon.
"No gross labral tear" means that no visible or obvious tear was identified during a clinical examination or imaging study of the labrum, which is a ring of cartilage around the socket of a ball-and-socket joint like the hip or shoulder. It suggests that there is no significant or large tear requiring immediate surgical intervention.

Cartilage contains collagen, gelatin, and several amino acids.
Yes, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons are all skeletal connective tissue.
Lumbar stenosis and an acetabular labral tear are two distinct conditions affecting different areas of the body. Lumbar stenosis involves narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, which can cause nerve compression and pain. In contrast, an acetabular labral tear occurs in the hip joint, affecting the cartilage that surrounds the acetabulum. While both conditions can cause pain and mobility issues, they arise from different anatomical structures and require different diagnostic and treatment approaches.
The ICD-10 code for a right hip labral tear is M24.151, which specifically denotes a tear of the labrum in the right hip. This code falls under the category of other joint disorders. Always consult the latest coding guidelines or a medical professional for the most accurate coding practices.
Fibrocartilage is the type of cartilage found in the sockets of the hips and shoulders. This is the strongest type of cartilage.
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that has a layer of cartilage covering both the head of the femur (thigh bone) and the acetabulum (the socket in the pelvis). So, the hip joint has cartilage in both the femoral head and the acetabulum.
