Now we have about five minutes for questions. Does anybody have any questions for any of the authors at the front? It's a knotted fixation, loop stitches. Vertical mattress all the way around? All the way around. Knotless, vertical. Knotted, vertical. I still tie knots and alternate between going around versus trying to do a mattress stitch when I can. At this point, knotless when we're able to in a non-vertical fashion. All right. I have a few questions, if no other questions from the audience. So Dr. Larson, in your study, clarify for me, so you're talking about repairable labri that a debridement was done? And is it, in effect, like a labral resection? Correct. In effect, it would be like a focal labral resection. And so, granted, we've learned a lot since the Espinoza study, et cetera. But why wouldn't those that were done a few years ago have been reconstructed, rather than left as debrided or resected segmental labra? Well, I think today you wouldn't do a focal debridement or resection in those, because looking back at their operative reports, looking back at their operative images, we felt like this was one, because all of the resections or debridements were done before we ever did a repair. I wasn't doing repairs at that time, 2004 and 2005. But nowadays, we would repair those. Now, if they were focal resections for other reasons today, you would do a reconstruction. But not only was I not doing repairs, I certainly wasn't doing reconstructions back then. Because the study period was so long ago. OK. Dean, if you mind, I have a follow-up question for that. Did you note any residual impingement in the folks that you did a focal repair or a debridement versus a focal repair? I know you said on the femoral side it looks similar, but I didn't see anything about the pincer side. Yeah, I would say, going back, I can't give you percentages. But I think there's some mild residual impingement, probably in both groups. If I look at what I'm doing today versus what I was doing back then, I think I'm a lot better. But because it was over a three-year period, it was hard to detect any difference. So that's why we looked at the femoral side, obviously, with the alpha angle before and after. And even though there was no difference in the means, there may have been some subtle differences in the contour. And I suspect the same on the acetabular side, but nothing that we could measure. Quick question. It's a quick question for Dr. Baum. It's a great study. Thanks for presenting that. It's actually a two-part question. The first is, how do you do it? So to answer your first question, we used to do it in a staged procedure. So if we found in particular damage or patients that had, you know, on radiographic imaging that were consistent with either conal defects or label defects, that was managed in a staged fashion. So really we just tried to shorten the entire postoperative procedure for the postoperative follow-up time for the patient to do it in a concomitant same-day approach. And in regards to your question regarding the capsular management, you know, there was really no other way to help with the hip instability aspect in the patient's diagnosis other than leaving it open and performing that placation post. So really we haven't found an issue with modification of the osteoplastic that was done. But really it's great visualization that we're getting both intraoperatively and during the open and closure because you can see exactly what's going on. But... Okay. That's all the time we have for questions. So I would like to thank the authors once again. Thank you all. Thank you.
