Labral Reconstruction: Salvage Options for Labral Deficiency

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Karen Briggs fills in for Dr. Philippon and discusses labral deficiency. The labrum's role in maintaining joint fluid nutrients, pressure, and stability is emphasized, with studies showing that labral reconstruction can recreate the seal and decrease loss of distraction force and stability. Labral height of six millimeters is deemed critical, with biomechanics studies showing that less than six millimeters leads to decreased pressure and rupture. The labral treatment algorithm is introduced, with different techniques used for different types of labral damage. Labral augmentation, using arthroscopic techniques, is found to increase volume and prevent adhesions. Long-term outcomes and failure rates are also discussed. The video concludes with acknowledgements and plans for further research.
