Purpose
To describe a surgical technique for hip labral repair using a knotless tensionable suture anchor to optimize repair strength and anatomy.
Methods
Technical description of a looped suture configuration allowing selective tensioning to maintain the hip’s suction seal.
Key Findings
The knotless technique is reproducible, preserves labral anatomy, and reduces surgical time compared to traditional methods.
Conclusions
This knotless tensionable anchor technique offers a reliable and efficient method for labral repair.
What Does This Mean For Patients
Patients benefit from precise labral repairs that maintain hip function and may reduce surgery time and related risks.
