The acetabular labrum is a triangular fibrocartilaginous structure that forms a horseshoe-shaped attachment to the acetabular rim, which connects the acetabulum to the underlying transverse acetabular ligament [Figure 1]a.[sup][1] Up to 90% of symptomatic patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) are found to combine with lesions of acetabular labrum.[sup][2] The most common presentations of the acetabular labrum lesions are hypertrophy, laceration, and/or cyst formation.[sup][3],[4] Nevertheless, a unique hip joint condition is observed recently in several symptomatic DDH patients [Figure 1]b.
