The number of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for labral tears has increased, but labral tears are sometimes seen in asymptomatic patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The frequency of this finding, however, has not been well characterized nor is the proportion of patients with previously asymptomatic labral tears who may later become symptomatic.
