biostudies-literatureUnknown4(4)Kaya MAcetabular chondral carpet delamination is a frequent finding at hip arthroscopy. The cartilage is macroscopically normal but deboned from the subchondral bone, without a disruption at the chondrolabral junction. Arthroscopic anatomic repair of delaminated cartilage is challenging. We propose that a combination of microfracture and use of stitches to press the delaminated cartilage against the subchondral bone using a suture limb offers an effective method to provide an environment for cartilage repair. This article describes the technique of bridging suture repair for carpet delamination in detail; the technique enables the surgeon to stabilize the delaminated acetabular cartilage. Intra-articular soft anchors and an acetabular rim knotless anchor footprint provide a stable repair for delArthroscopy techniquese345-8https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4680921biostudies-literatureBridging Suture Repair for Acetabular Chondral Carpet Delamination.PMC4680921Kaya MYamashita THirose TfalseBridging Suture Repair for Acetabular Chondral Carpet Delamination.Acetabular chondral carpet delamination is a frequent finding at hip arthroscopy.
