Simultaneous Acetabular Labrum Reconstruction and Remplissage of the Femoral Head-Neck Junction.

ABSTRACT: With the recent increase in the use of hip arthroscopy, revision hip arthroscopy also has become more prevalent; nevertheless, it is often complex, and many factors should be considered to achieve a satisfactory clinical outcome. Labral reconstruction or augmentation technique is used in cases of severely deficient acetabular labral tissue to restore the fluid seal mechanism. In cases of previous over-resection of cam impingement, the remplissage technique, used to restore the bony defect of the femoral head-neck junction and preserve the joint seal, is an established technique that has been recently reported in the hip with the use of iliotibial band with the same aim as in the shoulder, filling in of the defect due to healing of the soft tissue to the underlying bony impression. We aim to describe a labrum reconstruction in combination with a remplissage of the femoral head-neck junction with a dermal graft in a patient with recurrent hip pain after hip scope. This combination may improve hip stability and reduced pain after failed hip scope.
