Figure 4. — Everted labrum. This labral pathology is characterized by a labrum that sits on the capsular side of the acetabular rim, not contacting the femoral head, and thereby providing no suction seal necessary for normal hip mechanics. (A) Arthroscopic image with star demonstrating cartilage rim that is visible because labrum is everted. (B) Star in arthroscopic image demonstrates that with traction off, the cartilage rim remains visible because the labrum is everted away from the femoral head, thus compromising the suction seal. (C) Computed tomography shows upsloping lateral sourcil with blue arrow pointing to the superior rim where the labrum is attached. (D) Coronal T2 fat-saturated magnetic resonance arthrography image demonstrates how an everted labrum can be visualized as a blunted structure (as opposed to a normal triangular shape) that does not come into contact with the femoral head.
