Key result
The pull-through technique is described as a method to overcome challenges in arthroscopic labral hip reconstruction surgery for irreparable tears.
Why the study?
Labral reconstruction is highly technical and demanding, prompting the use of the pull-through technique to overcome challenges in arthroscopic labral hip reconstruction surgery.
The pull-through technique is described as a method to overcome challenges in arthroscopic labral hip reconstruction for irreparable tears.
Pull-through technique may aid irreparable labral reconstruction; leaves open comparative outcomes versus repair.
Hip arthroscopy has proved to be a valid option for the management of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and labral tears. In this context, labral preservation has been advocated as a superior alternative to complete debridement in terms of clinical outcomes. While labral repair remains the gold standard, particularly in the primary setting, labral reconstruction has been suggested for irreparable tears. However, labral reconstruction is highly technical and demanding. The pull-through technique was described to overcome some of the challenges in arthroscopic labral hip reconstruction surgery. The present review describes details, tips and pearls, and outcomes of using the pull-through technique for labral reconstruction of the hip.

Maldonado et al. (2020) conducted a review in Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and labral tears. Pull-through technique for labral reconstruction was evaluated. The pull-through technique is described as a method to overcome challenges in arthroscopic labral hip reconstruction surgery for irreparable tears.
