2021 Annual Meeting Hip Access Pass-Panel Discussion with Q & A: Hip Labrum Showdown

Panel Discussion with Q & A: Hip Labrum Showdown

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Bird and panelists discussed managing labral tears in hips, emphasizing a spectrum of treatments: repair if possible, augmentation if some labrum is preserved, and reconstruction if not. Debridement remains a less favored but sometimes necessary option, especially in middle-aged patients with ossified labra and early cartilage wear. The panel agreed that less aggressive procedures often serve these patients best, while reconstruction might benefit select cases if outcomes improve. The importance of precise bony decompression was highlighted, but overall, treatment strategies require further study. The discussion reflected ongoing debates and evolving practices in hip labral pathology management.
