Arthroscopic Labral Augmentation Pearls and Pitfalls

Pearls

Minimal to no acetabular trimming

Use of knotless anchors technology to decrease surgical time

Preservation of the capsule for further capsular plication

Use of “hard bone” drill to minimize the risk of anchor locking mechanism failure during suture shuttling

Pitfalls

Minimal experience in advanced arthroscopy techniques may result in a non-reproducible procedure

Losing track of the order of sutures and anchors

Forgetting to apply gentle tension in the graft during the fixation can result in a bulky augmentation
