During the last decade, an increasing rate in the number of hip arthroscopies has been experienced in our hospitals. Acetabular labrum injuries are likely the main cause by which an orthopedic surgeon perform a hip arthroscopy. The objective of the following paper is to review the different labral injuries we can find in our daily practice and indentify the its anatomopathological changes. This is going to let us know, in a global way, which is the main problem we are facing when we are treating patients with groin pain and acetabular labral injuries, and then we can choose the best treatment option. Different treatment options are superficialy described, becaus it’s not the objective of this review.
