Elementary labral lesions on fat-saturated T1-weighted arthro-MR images. a Axial oblique image. Irregular anterior labrum appearing of undefined degenerative high signal, without formal evidence of tear. b Coronal image. An horizontal well-defined high-signal line visible within the superior labrum is consistent with a flap tear of the labrum. Moreover, cartilaginous thinning, osteophytes and a tear of the superior capsule are detected. c Sagittal image shows a peripheral vertical linear hyperintense line in the labrum at 2 o’clock. As it communicates with the articular surface but not with the perilabral recess; it is consistent with a partial longitudinal labral tear. d Sagittal image shows a complete longitudinal labral tear at 2 o’clock
