Fig 1.

For patients indicated for labral reconstruction, the native labrum is resected followed by decortication of the acetabular rim. This figure shows a right hip in the supine position. (A) Four knotless sutures (KST) are placed 6-8 mm from one another on the DAR. (B) The graft is introduced into the joint through the DLAP, whereas the camera is positioned through the anterolateral portal. The PLA is attached to the anterior part of the graft. This anchor is placed in a hole previously drilled into the anterior aspect of the segmental defect adjacent to the NL. (A, acetabulum; C, capsule; DAR, decorticated acetabular rim; DLAP, distal lateral accessory portal; F, femoral head; G, graft; KST, Knotless SutureTak; NL, native labrum; PLA, PushLock anchor.)
