labral
Of the lip
Labral relates to the labrum, a ring of cartilage surrounding certain joints—most commonly the shoulder or hip.
A labral tear is a common sports injury where this cartilage is damaged: The MRI revealed a labral tear in her hip.
The term appears almost exclusively in medical contexts.
