2021 Annual Meeting Hip Access Pass-What Do We Do with the Labrum: Best of Both Worlds: Labral Augmentation

What Do We Do with the Labrum: Best of Both Worlds: Labral Augmentation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses labor reconstructions and the different options available for treatment. They emphasize the importance of anatomical restoration or preservation of the labrum to maintain biomechanical characteristics and the suction seal effect. The four treatment options mentioned are repair, augmentation, debridement, and reconstruction. The speaker focuses on reconstruction, particularly in a revision setting, and discusses techniques and considerations. Biomechanical studies show that labor reconstruction improves properties compared to a tear but not as well as repair. Clinical evidence supports labor refixation as the gold standard for labral pathology treatment. The role of total labor reconstruction remains controversial.
