ARTHROSCOPIC LABRUM RECONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE WITH AUTOGENOUS QUADRICEPS TENDON

The International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty (ISTA), 27th Annual Congress. PART 3.



Abstract

The acetabular labrum serves many integral functions within the hip joint. As a result, novel surgical techniques that aim to preserve or reconstruct the labrum have entered the spotlight. We have successfully performed a labral reconstruction using the quadriceps tendon as an autograft for a patient with a moderate labral defect. The purpose of this report is to propose this novel donor site as a viable alternative for labral reconstruction using an autograft; the potential benefits over currently popular methods will be discussed.
