Acetabular labral calcification
Calcification
of the acetabular labrum of the hip: prevalence in the general population and relation to hip articular cartilage and fibrocartilage degeneration. Exemplary samples of digital contact radiography images of the acetabular labrum from six different donors with distinct cartilage calcification. Cartilage calcification was detected as radiopaque spots within the fibrocartilage of the acetabular labrum. The cartilage calcification was classified into three typical calcification patterns (singular, spotted and streaky)
Clinical
Outcomes of Hip Arthroscopy for Hip Labrum Calcification in Young and Middle-Aged Patients: Preoperative X-rays (A1, B1) and 3D reconstruction (C1) of Labrum Calcification in three patients (A) 36-year-old woman; (B) 42-year-old woman; (C) 32-year-old man; postoperative X-rays (A2,B2) and 3D reconstruction (C1) of arthroscopy for labrum calcification (arrows indicate changes before and after surgery, the calcification has been removed).
Acetabular labral calcification in the hip can be a finding detected on imaging studies. It has an association with osteoarthritis of the hip and may account for higher pain levels in individuals with a high degree of calcification independent of age and histological degeneration .
