2023 Annual Meeting Hip Access Pass-Labral Reconstruction: Salvage Options for Labral Deficiency

Labral Reconstruction: Salvage Options for Labral Deficiency

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Karen Briggs presented on hip labral deficiency and reconstruction, emphasizing the importance of the labrum maintaining a seal for joint stability and nutrient retention. Studies show that a labral height of at least six millimeters is crucial for maintaining suction seal and joint pressure. Dr. Philippon's treatment algorithm includes augmentation and segmental reconstruction for degenerative or absent labral tissue, with arthroscopic techniques improving outcomes. Long-term data reveal a 12% failure rate at 10 years, excluding cases with severely reduced joint space. Labral augmentation not only restores volume but reduces adhesions. Ongoing research aims to enhance durability and reduce revision rates.
