[Arthroscopic treatment of acetabular labrum lesions: a series of 12 patients with a 4-year follow-up].

Purpose Of The Study: The aim of this work was to report our experience with arthroscopy for the treatment of acetabular labral lesions and identify prognostic factors determining mid- and long-term outcome.

Material And Methods: Between August 1991 and December 1997, 12 patients (ten women, two men, mean age 39 years, age range 25-61 years) underwent arthroscopic treatment of an acetabular labrum lesion. All were reviewed at a mean 4 years follow-up (18 months-8 years).
