About

This study aims to address hip labral tears and compare between arthroscopic labral repair versus debridement.

Full description

Hip arthroscopy will be performed with the patient under general anesthesia. The patient will be placed in supine position, and traction and joint access will be controlled by fluoroscopy. An anterolateral portal and an inferior mid-anterior portal will be used. Any labral, chondral, and/or bony pathology (cam or pincer) will be treated. Labral tears may be debrided or repaired. Labral repairs will be secured with suture anchors.

Patient's functions will be evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively at 1, 3 and 6 months and 1 year and at the last follow-up using the Harris Hip Score (HHS), visual analog score (VAS), Hip Outcome Score Activities-Daily Living Subscale (HOS-ADL), and Sport-Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS).

Enrollment: 20 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 60 years old
