Labralization, which may be performed by open or arthroscopic means, may be an attractive alternative to hip labral reconstruction. By preserving the articular cartilage in the region of labral deficit with meticulous rim trimming, the resultant undermined free chondral margin ("pseudolabrum") may immediately restore a fluid seal function and may theoretically enhance hip preservation. Arthroscopic hip labralization is a relatively simple and fast procedure without graft harvest morbidity. It may be performed in patients tolerating rim reduction with encouraging preliminary outcomes.

Identifying a Reliable Intra-articular Landmark to Avoid Vascular Injury During Transacetabular Screw Fixation: A 3D Computed Tomography Study.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

February 2025

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Keck Medical Center of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA (Ihn, Chung, Lovro, Patterson, Christ, and Heckmann), the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN (Chen), the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA (Tucker), and the Department of Radiology, Keck Medical Center of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA (White, and Hwang).

Introduction: Vascular injury during acetabular screw fixation is a life-threatening complication of total hip arthroplasty. This study uses three-dimensional computed tomography to (1) measure absolute distance from the external iliac artery (EIA) to the acetabulum, (2) determine available bone stock along the EIA path, and (3) create a novel acetabular vascular risk map.

Methods: A retrospective radiographic study was conducted using three-dimensional CT.

Purpose: To (1) systematically assess which orthobiologic agents are being used in acetabular labral repairs and (2) report all available outcomes for patients undergoing operative management for labral repairs with orthobiologic agents.

Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were queried in August 2023. Articles were included if they used an orthobiologic agent during hip arthroscopy for acetabular labral repair and reported functional outcomes.

Hip arthroscopy has been shown to be an effective surgical treatment with excellent outcomes and a low percentage of complications; however, there are published data regarding iatrogenic complications with hip distraction. Hip distraction is mandatory to gain access to the central compartment and to perform a reliable labral repair or labral reconstruction. Postless hip arthroscopy is very popular nowadays, and several techniques have been published.

In all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, restoring native patient anatomy has shown improved outcomes in comparison to nonanatomic reconstructions. Particular attention has been paid to the hip capsule, as the complex of the iliofemoral, pubofemoral, and ischiofemoral ligaments, as well as the zona orbicularis and iliocapsularis, all play an essential role in hip stability, mechanics, and maintenance of intra-articular pressures. An anatomic approach toward hip arthroscopy also includes labral repair or reconstruction with preservation of the chondrolabral junction and cam resection.

Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Acetabular Labrum Using an Autograft Hip Capsule.

December 2024

Sports Medicine Center, Department of Orthopaedics, Massachusetts General Hospital, Mass General Brigham, Boston, Massachusetts.

Background: Whereas uncomplicated labral tears with preserved fibers can be effectively treated with use of labral repair techniques, complex tears and hypoplastic labra require labral reconstruction. Standard reconstruction techniques feature grafted tissue that is added to existing, deficient tissue or that is utilized to replace a hypoplastic labrum entirely. However, such approaches utilizing allografts or remote autografts are limited because they often necessitate extensive debridement of the existing labrum to prepare a site for graft implantation, an approach that can damage and devascularize the chondrolabral junction.
