She means that tests for a labral tear and shoulder impingement were negative.
A labrum tare, or labral tear for those who speak English, is an injury to the cartilage of the hip or shoulder joint.
Labral tear
A labral tear is an injury to the labrum, which is the cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder or hip joint. It can cause pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion in the affected joint. Treatment options may include rest, physical therapy, or surgery depending on the severity of the tear.
check for a shoulder impingement, or a labral/rotator cuff tear
"No gross labral tear" means that no visible or obvious tear was identified during a clinical examination or imaging study of the labrum, which is a ring of cartilage around the socket of a ball-and-socket joint like the hip or shoulder. It suggests that there is no significant or large tear requiring immediate surgical intervention.
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles, whose combined mission is to keep the shoulder in its socket. A rotator "cup" doesn't exist in the world of anatomy. Perhaps you heard it from someone who mispronounced after not hearing clearly.
A Labrum is not a muscle, Its an area of connective tissue around a joint such as the shoulder or hip, which increases surface area of the joint and aids stability. In both cases (muscle or Labral), after surgery, re-injury is more likely than in a patient who has had not previous history of problems. However with proper rehab and continual vigilence and exercise, the risk of re-injury can be reduced.
The most common way to repair a labral tear in the hip is through a surgical procedure called a hip arthroscopy. The surgical code for this procedure is 726.5.
say what?
