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.
Nonsurgical treatment of a labral tear includes pain-relief medication, physical therapy, modification of physical activity, and temporary use of crutches until symptoms subside. The tear itself will not heal or disappear, but usually your pain and other symptoms will improve. Corticosteroid injections into the hip joint, performed under x-ray or using ultrasound for guidance, can also help relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
