Labral repair has become an essential technique in the arthroscopic surgical management of femoroacetabular impingement.

The repair procedure requires accurate evaluation of labral tissue quality, precise placement of sutures and anchors, and careful re-tensioning of the labrum. We present our preferred technique for labral repair.
