Acetabular labral reconstruction with an iliotibial band autograft: outcome and survivorship analysis at minimum 3-year follow-up.

Background: Injury to the acetabular labrum results from multiple causes including femoroacetabular impingement, dysplasia, and acute trauma. The patient's labrum can be reconstructed utilizing an iliotibial band autograft that is tubularized and fixed to the acetabular rim, substituting for the patient's own labrum. Purpose/

Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the midterm results of this technique with a follow-up from 3 to 6 years after reconstruction.
