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).
