Circumferential Labral Reconstruction Using the Knotless Pull-Through Technique—Surgical Technique

Arthroscopic Hip Labral Reconstruction and Augmentation Using Knotless Anchors.

Biomechanical stability is the primary function of the acetabular labrum. It provides a hip suction seal and optimal joint function. Labral tears are a common reason for hip arthroscopy, to improve patient function and to prevent long-term degenerative arthropathy. Arthroscopic labral repair has shown significantly better outcomes in return to premorbid activity levels when compared with labral...

All-arthroscopic iliotibial band autograft harvesting and labral reconstruction technique.

The labrum is essential for stability, movement, and prevention of arthritis in the hip. In cases of labral damage where repair of a labral tear is not possible, reconstruction can be a useful alternative. Several different autografts have been used, including the iliotibial band (ITB), the ligamentum teres capitis, and the gracilis tendon. Authors have reported both open and arthroscopic techn...

Arthroscopic Repair of a Circumferential 360° Labral Tear

Injuries to the glenoid labrum can result in shoulder instability and pain. These lesions may occur anywhere around the glenoid labrum, and thus, the arthroscopist must be prepared to approach all aspects of the glenoid from multiple angles. The pan-labral or circumferential (360°) tear of the glenoid labrum presents a unique challenge to even the experienced arthroscopist. The extent of the le...

A Remote Pointing Technique Using Pull-out

Reaching objects displayed on the opposite side of a large multi-touch tabletop with hands is difficult. This forces users to move around the tabletop. We present a remote pointing technique we call HandyPointing. This technique uses pull-out, a bimanual multi-touch gesture. The gesture allows users to both translate the cursor position and change control-display (C-D) ratio dynamically. We con...

Circumferential Acetabular Labral Reconstruction Provides Equivalent Improvement to Labral Repair Despite Greater Initial Severity of Damage at Two-Year Follow-Up
