Hip labral reconstruction is a necessary technical skill for hip arthroscopists to treat labral deficiency when repair or debridement is insufficient, though indications remain under debate.
Hip labral reconstruction is highlighted as a necessary skill for hip arthroscopists to treat patients with labral deficiency when repair or debridement is insufficient.
The surgical treatment of labral deficiency has generated a tremendous amount of discussion and controversy among hip arthroscopists. The surgical reconstruction of the labrum has been viewed as the natural next step, after debridement and repair, in the advancement of our ability to treat patients with hip labral pathology. However, the indications for labral replacement and the profile of patients who would benefit from this complex intervention are still under debate. Every hip arthroscopist must have the technical ability to perform reconstruction when indicated. Repair or debridement does not always achieve best patient outcome.
