Advantages and Limitations of This Technique

Advantages	Limitations
Iliotibial (IT) band allograft is a readily available graft option.	The graft does not reconstitute bony architecture.
The IT band is well suited for filling in of smaller defects (<5 mm depth).	Larger defects may require a bone grafting technique.
The suction seal is reestablished with appropriate contact between the labrum and femoral head-neck junction.	There are no biomechanical or long-term studies to prove efficacy and durability.
