Central Compartment: Labral Repair

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Michael Banfie discusses labral repair techniques in hip surgeries, emphasizing the importance of understanding the labrum's anatomy and the need for precise procedures to maintain joint stability. He explains different suture and anchor techniques—like circumferential stitches and various anchor systems—highlighting their impact on labral stability and joint integrity. Banfie stresses creating a suction seal to enhance hip biomechanics and recommends femoral osteoplasty and capsule closure post-repair for optimal outcomes. He supports labral repair over debridement for its superior long-term benefits, backed by clinical studies.
