Editorial Commentary: Small Labral Size on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Is an Indication for LabralReconstruction in the Setting of Revision Hip Arthroscopy. Revision hip arthroscopy is an increasingly common procedure as rates of primary hip arthroscopy rise. Etiologies for symptom recurrence may include residual femoroacetabular impingement, cam over-resection, labral pathology, chondral wear , adhesions, and instability. This has spawned sophisticated surgical techniques in hip arthroscopy including labralreconstruction. Indications for labralreconstruction in the revision setting obviously include labral deficiency. In addition, in the absence of other obvious reasons for failure of the primary procedure, a labralreconstruction should be considered for diminutive labra. The ability
Two-Year Outcomes of Primary Arthroscopic Surgery in Patients with Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Comparative Study of Labral Repair and LabralReconstruction. Labral repair has become the preferred method for the arthroscopic treatment of acetabular labral tears that are associated with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) resulting in pain and dysfunction. Labralreconstruction is performed mainly in revision hip arthroscopy but can be utilized in the primary setting for absent or calcified labra. The purpose of this study was to compare the minimum 2-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and risk of revision or conversion to arthroplasty between primary labralreconstruction and primary labral repair. Patients with FAI who underwent primary hip arthroscopy with labral repair
A Hip Circumferential LabralReconstruction Provides Similar Distractive Stability to a Labral Repair After Cam Over-Resection in a Biomechanical Model. To evaluate the change in hip distractive stability after a cam over-resection, labral tear, repair, labrectomy, or circumferential 6-mm or 10-mm labralreconstruction in a biomechanical model. Ten fresh-frozen matched pair human cadaveric hips and labrectomy, and (6) after a capsulectomy, 5-mm cam over-resection, and a 6- or 10-mm circumferential labralreconstruction with iliotibial band (5 hips each). Each specimen was retested at 0° flexion, 45° flexion, and 45° flexion and 15° internal rotation and analyzed using non-parametric statistical methods. The Friedman test of differences was significant among structural conditions and hip positions (P
Editorial Commentary: In Cases of Cam Over-resection and Irreparable Hip Labral Tear Requiring Revision, Acetabular Circumferential LabralReconstruction with Larger Graft Width Is Indicated. Hip arthroscopy technique and innovation has revolutionized the surgical approach to femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Arthroscopic labralreconstruction is the gold-standard treatment for irreparable acetabular labral tears in FAIS surgery, and backed by robust long-term clinical data. However, cam-over-resection has become a prevalent complication, often co-occurring with irreparable labral tears in revision FAIS surgery. Revision, circumferential labralreconstruction, is a promising solution, particularly from a biomechanical perspective, in restoring the suction seal. Larger graft width
Editorial Commentary: Diminished Hip Labral Width May Predict Inferior Outcome After Hip Femoroacetabular Impingement Surgery: Diminutive Labral Width Is a Relative Indication for LabralReconstruction. Hip labral "width" should be defined as the distance from the chondrolabral junction to the tip of the labrum in triangular cross-section. "Height" should refer to the distance from the joint impingement syndrome. Diminutive labral width is a relative indication for labralreconstruction.
Similar clinical outcomes for arthroscopic labralreconstruction in irreparable cases using the indirect head of the rectus femoris tendon with an all-inside technique for small defects and the iliotibial band for large defects.

To validate an arthroscopic approach for performing significant acetabular rim correction and circumferential labralreconstruction required to treat severe pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement. Using a minimum of 2-year follow-up, data from 48 hips, including 47 patients (11 male, 36 female; mean age of 42 years) having undergone significant arthroscopic acetabuloplasty for severe pincer impingement (center edge angle >45°) with concomitant circumferential allograft labralreconstruction were analyzed to determine improvements in patient-reported outcomes and degree of radiographic
Editorial Commentary: Iliotibial Band Autograft Is a Safe and Effective Technique for Hip LabralReconstruction. Hip labralreconstruction is indicated for hypoplastic, ossified, or irreparable labral tears in the primary and revision settings. Arthroscopic reconstruction for insufficient labral tissue requires advanced surgical techniques to restore hip biomechanics and re-establish the suction seal. With the growing number of arthroscopic hip procedures being performed, this is an increasingly familiar scenario. In our experience, the iliotibial band (ITB) autograft provides a safe and effective technique for labralreconstruction at 10-year clinical follow-up. Although the harvest requires an additional incision, the graft is incredibly versatile and can be harvested at any size
Indirect Head of the Rectus Femoris Tendon as a Graft for Segmental Hip LabralReconstruction: An Anatomic, Radiographical, and Biomechanical Study in Comparison With Iliotibial LabralReconstruction. The indirect head of the rectus femoris (IHRF) tendon has been used as an autograft for segmental labralreconstruction. However, the biomechanical properties and anatomic characteristics of the IHRF, as they relate to surgical applications, have yet to be investigated. To (1) quantitatively and qualitatively describe the anatomy of IHRF and its relationship with surrounding arthroscopically relevant landmarks; (2) detail radiographic findings pertinent to IHRF; (3) biomechanically assess segmental labralreconstruction with IHRF, including restoration of the suction seal and contact
Editorial Commentary: Surgeons Planning Hip Labral Arthroscopic Repair Should Have a Backup Plan of LabralReconstruction or Augmentation Based on Intraoperative Labral Degeneration, Hypoplasia, or Ossification. The arena of hip arthroscopy has seen leaps in practices over the past decade, evolving from surgical debridement of the labrum to improvements in techniques which now allow repair

Prospectively collected data were retrospectively reviewed for patients who underwent revision hip arthroscopy from April 2010 to September 2018. Patients were included if they underwent labralreconstruction and had preoperative and minimum 2-year PROs. Patients unwilling to participate
Editorial Commentary: Segmental Hip LabralReconstruction May Be Superior to Circumferential Reconstruction: Bigger Isn't Better. Hip arthroscopic segmental and circumferential labralreconstruction show similar outcomes in short-term follow-up. Will bigger (circumferential reconstruction) eventually be largely a historical method? Bigger does not appear to be better, although some argue that segmental techniques inadequately restore the labrum's function, incompletely treat the defect, and result in mismatch at the labral-graft junction, which is also a "weak spot" for future tears. Yet, others show that circumferential reconstruction is without clear benefit and adds additional anchors, complexity and operating room time and costs. The next phase of research on hip labralreconstruction
Comparable Minimum 2-Year Patient-Reported Outcome Scores Between Circumferential and Segmental LabralReconstruction for the Management of Irreparable Labral Tear and Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome in the Primary Setting: A Propensity-Matched Stu To compare minimum 2-year follow-up patient-reported outcome scores (PROs) in patients who underwent primary acetabular circumferential and segmental labralreconstruction for irreparable labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).
