Abstract

Many techniques have been described for reconstruction of the acetabular labrum, but the procedure is known to be technically rigorous leading to lengthy procedure times and traction times. Increasing efficiency of the procedure with respect to graft preparation and delivery remain areas for potential improvement. We describe a simplified procedure for arthroscopic segmental labral reconstruction using peroneus longus allograft and a single working portal to shuttle the graft into the joint via suture anchors placed at the terminal extents of the graft defect. This method allows for efficient preparation, placement and fixation of the graft that can be completed in under 15 minutes.
