Description
Summary: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. To our knowledge, no published techniques have been described that access the hip with a postless technique in reconstructing a labrum in a complete, segmental, or augmented manner. We present a modified technique for hip labral augmentation and reconstruction without a post. The described technique was obtained from the original technique for hip arthroscopic labral reconstruction by Dr. Brian J. White in the “front-to-back” technique.
