Perilabral sulcus

Changed by Aditya Shetty, 3 Sep 2015

Body was changed:

The perilabral sulcus is the space between the acetabular labrum and capsule of the hip joint, which inserts next to the base of the labrum. It is, therefore, intra-articular.

Superiorly the capsule's attachment is removed from the labrum by a few millimeters and thus the sulcus is large and well formed.  Anteriorly and posteriorly the attachment of the capsule is much closer to the base of the labrum, and thus the perilabral sulcus is commensurately smaller.
