Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the outcomes of primary arthroscopic hip labral reconstruction in patients aged 40 and older to those who underwent labral repair, along with a comparison to younger patients (aged 30-39) who also had reconstruction.
- It included data from 363 hips across 343 patients, with an average follow-up of 4.2 years, focusing on metrics like the modified Harris Hip Score and pain levels to determine the effectiveness and failure rates of the procedures.
- Results indicated that hips in the repair group aged 40 and older had a significantly higher failure rate than those in the reconstruction group of the same age; however, the improvement in hip function scores was notably better for both reconstruction groups compared to the

Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on a surgical technique for reconstructing the acetabular labrum and ligamentum teres in a 15-year-old boy with recurring hip instability and previous dislocations that didn't improve with non-surgical methods.
- - The surgical procedure involved using iliotibial band and tibialis anterior allografts for the reconstructions, and the patient was assessed before and after the surgery with various evaluation scales.
- - Fourteen months after the surgery, the patient reported significant improvements in hip stability, reduced pain, high satisfaction, and successfully returned to sports without further issues.
