Labral tears could be further classified as: 1  Anterior labral tears-the pain will generally be more consistent and is situated on the anterior hip (anterosuperior quadrant) or at the groin. 2  Posterior labral tears-are situated in the lateral region or deep in the posterior buttocks.
There are two types of labral tears. A primary or type 1 tear occurs due to a fraying or detachment of the labrum from the rim of the acetabulum. A type 2 tear is a tear within the substance of the labrum, typically caused crushing of the labrum against the neck of the femur by an overhanging rim of the acetabulum (pincer lesion). Code 29916 (Arthroscopy, hip, surgical; with labral repair) describes arthroscopic repair of the torn labrum.
