Is it just my imagination or are we seeing an increase of hip labral tears? Is this another case of more sophisticated diagnostic techniques finding something that was always there? I know this was a big topic at a sports medicine conference I spoke at last year. The surgeons were all discussing arthroscopic procedures used for the surgery. I just have to be a bit skeptical. I would appreciated any comments; perhaps I am missing something here. It just reminds of the time our team physician with the White Sox had gone to a conference and heard a talk on slap lesions in the shoulder. In spring training physical with the minor leaguers he started look for slap lesions. Guest what, he started finding them.
