   Introduction
 
Over the last decade, the diagnosis and arthroscopic management of labral tears of the hip in the young athletic population has evolved substantially due to improvements in clinical examination, diagnostic tools, surgical techniques, and flexible instrumentation in hip arthroscopy. Arthroscopic management of labral injuries in the hip has become an accepted therapeutic modality in appropriately selected patients. The treatment of labral tears and their associated disorders is crucial for hip preservation in young and active patients because several studies have demonstrated an association between labral tears and the early onset of osteoarthritis1-3.


   Educational Objectives
 
This paper will review the main causes of labral tears in the hip, including labral tears secondary to trauma, femoroacetabular impingement, instability, psoas impingement, dysplasia, and degenerative arthritis. We will discuss relevant anatomy and history, typical findings on physical examination, types of imaging studies performed, and treatment options, with a focus on the arthroscopic management of labral . . .
