Key result
A novel eversion-inversion intrasubstance suturing technique for labral repair and reconstruction is described to assist in restoring the native labrum position and re-creating an optimal hip seal.
Describes a novel eversion-inversion suturing technique for hip labral repair to optimize the suction seal.
May aid labral positioning in hip arthroscopy; leaves open need for outcome validation studies.
Labral tears are a significant cause of hip pain and are currently the most common indication for hip arthroscopy. Compared with labral debridement, labral repair has significantly better outcomes in terms of both daily activities and athletic pursuits in the setting of femoral acetabular impingement. The classic techniques described in the literature for labral repair all use loop or pass-through intrasubstance labral sutures to achieve a functional hip seal. This hip seal is important for hip stability and optimal joint biomechanics, as well as in the prevention of long-term osteoarthritis. We describe a novel eversion-inversion intrasubstance suturing technique for labral repair and reconstruction that can assist in restoration of the native labrum position by re-creating an optimal seal around the femoral head.

Moreira et al. (2015) studied Labral tears and femoral acetabular impingement. Eversion-inversion intrasubstance suturing technique was evaluated. A novel eversion-inversion intrasubstance suturing technique for labral repair and reconstruction is described to assist in restoring the native labrum position and re-creating an optimal hip seal.
