Abstract

Hip arthroscopy is rapidly increasing in case volume annually in the United States. However, it remains a challenging surgery with a steep learning curve. Labral repair is commonly performed to preserve the labrum rather than labral debridement or reconstruction. Many techniques have been described for labral repair. In this technical note, we describe our technique for a modified loop suture technique for arthroscopic labral repair of the hip.
