Advantages and Limitations

Advantages

•The suction seal can be reestablished with labral reconstruction and a remplissage procedure performed in correlation with the dynamic hip examination.

•Two procedures can be performed in the same session with the same allograft.

•With the kite technique, the elongation and placement of the graft on the acetabular rim can be arthroscopically confirmed before tying any suture thread.

Limitations

•In hip arthroscopy, which has a long learning curve, the combination of two advanced procedures (labral reconstruction and remplissage) may be surgically difficult to apply in the same session.

•The surgical time may be longer than that of a standard hip arthroscopy, which includes labrum repair and cam resection.

•In cases with an excessive amount of over-resection, remplissage with soft tissue may not be sufficient to fill the defect.
