2021 Annual Meeting Hip Access Pass-Question and Answers: Hip Labrum Showdown

Video Transcription

Video Summary

During a Q&A session, experts discussed challenging hip conditions. Regarding circumferentially deficient labral tissue, it's uncommon but seen in cases with global overcoverage or calcified labrum, where reconstruction may improve outcomes. High-grade cartilage lesions predict poorer prognosis, though data on lesion size is lacking. Despite knowing prognosis, surgeons often proceed with decompression and labral repair, adjusting techniques like microfracture based on defect size. Additionally, severity of acetabular cartilage injury correlates with male sex and BMI, but its relationship to impingement severity (like CAM or pincer lesions) remains unstudied. More data is needed for optimized treatment strategies.
