ABSTRACT
Hip labral reconstruction is indicated for hypoplastic, ossified, or irreparable labral tears in the primary and revision settings. Arthroscopic reconstruction for insufficient labral tissue requires advanced surgical techniques to restore hip biomechanics and re-establish the suction seal. With the growing number of arthroscopic hip procedures being performed, this is an increasingly familiar scenario. In our experience, the iliotibial band (ITB) autograft provides a safe and effective technique for labral reconstruction at 10-year clinical follow-up. Although the harvest requires an additional incision, the graft is incredibly versatile and can be harvested at any size to address the labral deficiency. Despite the concerns for donor-site morbidity, our extensive experience shows this is incredibly rare. In addition, concomitant pathology, such as greater trochanteric bursitis, can be addressed through this incision. Other grafts can be used for labral reconstruction, such as the indirect head of the rectus femoris tendon, but this is often limited to smaller labral defects less than 1 cm. ITB autograft shows excellent mid- to long-term outcomes, and second-look surgeries show excellent incorporation of the ITB autograft. And, in contrast to allograft, autograft tissue has demonstrated lower revision rates. The type of autograft used is per surgeon discretion based on experience and preference. In our hands, ITB is optimal due to proven effectiveness, durability, versatility, and limited donor-site morbidity.
