Arthroscopic labral reconstruction using local capsular autograft provides an alternative technique using readily available tissue with no donor-site morbidity for patients with labral deficiency.
Describes an alternate method of arthroscopic labral reconstruction using readily available capsular autograft with no donor-site morbidity.
May offer a donor-free autograft option for labral deficiency; leaves open comparative efficacy and durability versus established techniques.
Labral reconstruction is becoming an important treatment modality for hips with nonsalvageable labra. Nonsalvageable labra can be present in cases of intrasubstance damage, revision surgery after debridement, labral calcification, and hypoplasia. Previous methods of reconstruction have been performed in an open manner and arthroscopically using ligamentum teres, iliotibial band, and gracilis autograft. We present an alternate method of arthroscopic labral reconstruction using capsular autograft. The technique uses readily available capsular tissue during arthroscopy with no donor-site morbidity. This technique may be valuable in appropriately selected patients with labral deficiency.

Domb et al. (2014) studied Nonsalvageable labra / labral deficiency. Arthroscopic labral reconstruction using capsular autograft was evaluated. Arthroscopic labral reconstruction using local capsular autograft provides an alternative technique using readily available tissue with no donor-site morbidity for patients with labral deficiency.
