2023 Annual Meeting Hip Access Pass-How I Achieve the Optimized Labral Repair

How I Achieve the Optimized Labral Repair

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Alan Zhang discusses optimized labral repair in hip arthroscopy through six key tips: 1) precisely locating the tear using imaging and diagnostic scope; 2) identifying the pathology’s cause, differentiating outside-in versus inside-out lesions; 3) treating associated issues like paralabral cysts, calcifications, ossicles, or rim fractures; 4) perfecting surgical technique with careful anchor placement and appropriate suture methods; 5) augmenting repair by decorticating bone to promote healing and considering biological enhancements; and 6) protecting repair through meticulous osteoplasty, capsular management, and structured rehabilitation protocols to ensure repair stability and optimal recovery.
