Video Summary

The video transcript is a presentation by David Maldonado from the American Hip Institute. The paper discussed the effect of complete tearing of the LT ligament in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) labeled tear. The study aimed to compare outcomes of patients with complete LT tears to a matched control group with intact LT. The research found that both groups achieved significant and favorable outcomes after two years, but the LT group had a higher risk of conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the study couldn't establish a cause-effect relationship for the conversion. Further multi-center studies are suggested.
