Minimum 2-Year Outcomes of All-Arthroscopic Capsular Autograft Labral Reconstruction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This presentation discusses a novel surgical technique for labral reconstruction using local capsular autograft tissue in hip arthroscopy, with a minimum two-year follow-up. The retrospective study included patients with deficient labrums unsuitable for simple repair. The method preserves the labral blood supply and chondrolabral junction, minimizing donor site morbidity and maintaining hip stability. Functional outcomes showed significant improvement, with 80% of patients reaching meaningful clinical improvement, despite common concurrent femoral acetabular impingement. Complications were minimal and did not affect motion or stability. The technique offers favorable short-term results, though longer-term follow-up and biomechanical testing are needed.
