Chondro Labral Junction Stabilization Key-Dr. Allston J. Stubbs, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Mark Philippon and Karen Briggs discuss chondrolabral dysfunction. They explain that there is a transition zone on the histology between the Highland cartilage and the labrum, and disruption in this area is common in patients with impingement and dysplasia. Studies have shown that the more damage there is, the more stress is seen across the cartilage, highlighting the need for proactive repair. The main problems seen in this condition are labral tears and chondral injury, often occurring together. The goals of treatment are to preserve the seal, stabilize the junction, and preserve both the labrum and chondral surface. Different procedures and biologic adjuvants are used to aid in this process. The importance of limiting further damage and maintaining stability is stressed. The transition zone is crucial for proper hip joint functioning and disruption is often present in athletes with FAI-type pathology. The session concludes by encouraging viewers to join ISHA and attend the upcoming meeting in Madrid.
