Arthroscopic labral repair versus selective labral debridement in female patients with femoroacetabular impingement: a prospective randomized study
Arthroscopy. 2013 Jan;29(1):46-53. doi: 10.1016/j.arthro.2012.07.011Exclusive Author Interview
Dr. Aaron Krych discuss Arthroscopic labral repair versus selective labral debridement in female patients with femoroacetabular impingement.
36 patients (all female) were randomized to determine which treatment, labral repair or labral debridement, was more effective for femoroacetabular impingement. Patients received either labral repair or labral debridement, and were followed-up at a minimum of one year postoperatively. Results suggest that labral repair displayed superiority in improving clinical outcome and propioception of hip function compared to the debridement procedure. Patient subjective outcome was also superior in the labral repair group.
