Many patients and even physicians like to focus on the presence of an acetabular labral tear when one is present on magnetic resonance imaging, despite the limitations of magnetic resonance imaging in identifying labral tears. Furthermore, recent studies have shown normal variations of the acetabular labrum, as well as a high prevalence of labral tears in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. For patients electing to undergo surgical treatment of a labral tear, addressing the underlying pathology is imperative. Ignoring the primary pathology (e.g., femoroacetabular impingement or hip dysplasia) risks the formation of a new labral tear after initial surgical management. This comprehensive approach ensures that the primary cause of the labral tear is treated, thereby reducing the likelihood of recurrence and improving patient outcomes. Although the labrum is highly innervated, making labral tears a direct cause of hip pain in affected patients, we should not be setting our focus on the labral tear itself. Focusing solely on the labral pathology may set up our patients for failure by overlooking the underlying anatomic issues that precipitate these tears. Addressing the root cause, such as correcting femoroacetabular impingement and/or hip dysplasia, is crucial for effective treatment. By correcting these anatomic factors, we can prevent future labral damage and provide more comprehensive and lasting relief for our patients. Ignoring the primary anatomic issues risks recurrent tears and ongoing pain, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":55459,"journal":{"name":"Arthroscopy-The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142632513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The crux of technique modifications involve flexor pronator mass (FPM) management, ulnar nerve transposition (UNT), graft selection, or graft-fixation options. Jobe used a figure-of-8 graft fixation through the cubital tunnel, necessitating FPM elevation and UNT. Although 68% of patients returned to play (RTP), 25% of patients experienced ulnar neuritis, prompting change. Described by Thompson et al. in 2001, the modified Jobe technique implemented a muscle-splitting approach to the FPM, eliminating the need for FPM elevation, facilitating optional UNT. This technique uses larger tunnel sizes to facilitate graft passage in a figure-of-8 fashion. Graft selection is another consideration in UCLR. Most commonly, the palmaris longus autograft is used. In addition, there are no significant outcome differences between alternative graft types such as allografts, hamstring autografts, or extensor tendons. Notably, palmaris longus autograft is perhaps a high-risk choice, given the proximity to the median nerve. One case series reported 19 incidents of iatrogenic median nerve harvest. Lastly, the docking technique, from Altchek et al. in 2002, builds upon the modified Jobe. Using the FPM split, optional UNT enhanced graft passage and fixation with one humeral tunnel and smaller exit holes. This approach demonstrates a remarkable 90% RTP at 12 to 18 months, ultimately leading to satisfactory outcomes and potentially shorter operating room times. An alternative approach to UCLR, UCL repair with suture augmentation obviates the need for a graft, shortening RTP time to approximately 6 months. Historically, UCL repair indications were inconsistent; however, the current professional consensus suggests acute injuries, minimal ligamentous degeneration, or isolated proximal or distal avulsions may be optimal injury patterns for repair.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55459,"journal":{"name":"Arthroscopy-The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery","volume":"40 12","pages":"Pages 2780-2782"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142632518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
