Primary Hip Arthroscopic Surgery With Labral Reconstruction: Is There a Difference Between an Autograft and Allograft?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Labral reconstruction has been described as a solution for the irreparable labrum. Initial techniques employed autografts, while more recent procedures have utilized allografts. No study, to our knowledge, has compared graft types.

Purpose

To compare outcomes between patients who underwent primary labral reconstruction with a hamstring allograft versus hamstring autograft.

Hypothesis

No significant differences in outcomes will be found between patients who underwent primary labral reconstruction with an allograft versus autograft.

Study design

Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Methods

Data from September 2010 to March 2015 were reviewed. Inclusion criteria were primary hip arthroscopic surgery with labral reconstruction using either a hamstr
