Arthroscopic Repair of Hip Labrum With Suture Anchors.
Arthroscopy Techniques 2017 December
The acetabular labrum and the transverse acetabular ligament form a continuous ring of tissue on the periphery of the acetabulum that provides a seal for the hip joint and increases the surface area to spread load distribution during weight-bearing. When a labral tear is suspected, the treatment algorithm always begins with conservative management, including physical therapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. When conservative management fails, patients become candidates for arthroscopic labral repair. In the last 2 decades, the rate of hip arthroscopy has increased nearly 4-fold. However, as hip arthroscopy is performed more frequently, there is a need for a proper technique to minimize morbidity, because hip arthroscopy has been known to have a steep learning curve. We present a method for arthroscopic hip labral repair using suture anchors without a capsular repair. This Technical Note highlights our technique for labral repair, along with pearls and pitfalls of hip arthroscopy.
