The acetabular labrum has a known to function as a suction seal of the hip joint, it adds stability to the joint and helps lubricating by keeping the synovial fluid in. Dysfunctional labrum can result in chondral damage and early osteo-arthritis. Labral reconstruction is a relatively new procedure, which aims to restore the suction seal functionality of a missing or an un-repairable labrum. We use this technique for patients without extensive cartilage damage.
