Central Compartment: Rim Management & Pincer Deformity

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, Brett Goodloe from Virginia Commonwealth University addresses the management of the acetabular rim and labral repair with emphasis on pincer correction for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). He outlines the process using techniques like acetabular inclination and version measurements, 3D CT planning, and arthroscopic views (bird's eye and upper deck) to aid surgical decision-making. The talk emphasizes careful labral tear identification, rim preparation, pincer resection, and labral repair to restore hip function while maintaining soft tissue integrity to avoid postoperative instability. Fluoroscopy is suggested for ensuring comprehensive bony resections.
