Labral Repair/Reconstruction

Place sutures in the labrum using a number of Arthrex suture-passing devices and fixate the labrum to the acetabulum using circumferential or labral base stitch techniques. Insert SutureTak® and FiberTak® suture anchors into the acetabulum before passing suture through and around the labrum. PushLock® suture anchors require the suture to be passed through and around the labrum prior to inserting the anchor into the acetabulum.

Labral Fixation

Achieve labral fixation by placing sutures through the labrum in simple or labral base stitch configurations using any Arthrex suture passer. Standard and Knotless SutureTak^® and FiberTak^® anchors should be placed prior to passing the repair suture, while PushLock^® anchors should be placed after passing the repair suture.

Suture Passing

Suture passing is made easy with the wide variety of instruments from Arthrex, including SwiftStitch™, SutureLasso™, BirdBeak^®, Penetrator™, Hip Labral Scorpion™ and CapsuleClose Scorpion™ suture passers.
