Relating to a labrum, the lip-like rim or structure found in a joint, an insect's mouthparts, or a shell.
In human anatomy, a labral injury refers to damage to the labrum, the ring of tough tissue that deepens the socket of the hip or shoulder joint and helps hold the ball of the joint in place. Entomologists use the same word for the lip-shaped plate at the front of an insect's mouth, and the labral rim also appears in descriptions of certain shells and skeletal structures. Whichever field uses it, labral always points back to some lip-like part called a labrum.
