Portal Selection for Suture Anchor Placement During Hip Arthroscopic Labral Repair: A Study Based on 3-Dimensional Model Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Arthroscopic suture repair is the main treatment option for hip labral tears; however, anchor insertion and placement from arthroscopic portals is difficult.

Purpose

To quantitatively evaluate the safety of various arthroscopic portals for suture anchor placement during hip labral repair.

Study design

Descriptive laboratory study.

Methods

The computed tomography scans of 20 patients with normally developed hip joints were used to create 3-dimensional models. The distances from the anchor to the articular cartilage (DAC) and from the acetabular insertion point to the cortical bone (DCB) were measured in the anterolateral portal (AL), posterolateral portal (PL), midanterior portal (MAP), medial MAP, and 3 distal anterolateral accessory portals (DALAs):
