How I Achieve the Optimized Labral Repair

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Alan Zhang discusses six tips for achieving optimized labral repair. The first tip is to locate the tear through pre-op planning and diagnostic scope. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the cause of the pathology, such as outside-in and inside-out lesions. Dr. Zhang also advises treating any associated pathology, such as paralabral cysts or labral calcification. Perfecting the surgical technique, including anchor placement and suture configurations, is another tip. He suggests augmenting the repair through acetabuloplasty and potentially using bone marrow aspirate. Lastly, he emphasizes the need to protect the repair through meticulous osteoplasty, proper capsular management, and comprehensive rehabilitation.
