The acetabular labrum is a soft-tissue structure which lines the acetabular rim of the hip joint.
Its role in hip joint biomechanics and joint health has been of particular interest over the past …

Advances in computational mechanics, constitutive modeling, and techniques for subject-
specific modeling have opened the door to patient-specific simulation of the relationships …

Purpose The acetabular labrum is theorized to be important to normal hip function by
creating intra-articular fluid pressurization through the hip fluid seal. However, the effect of a …

Our objectives were to determine cartilage contact stress during walking, stair climbing, and
descending stairs in a well‐defined group of normal volunteers and to assess variations in …

Background: Arthroscopic treatment for labral tears includes debridement and repair. Long-
term studies have failed to demonstrate a difference between these treatments in terms of …

Background Acetabular dysplasia is a major predisposing factor for development of hip
osteoarthritis (OA), and may result from alterations to chondrolabral loading. Subject-specific …

Background: The arthroscopic management of hip dysplasia has been controversial and has
historically demonstrated mixed results. Studies on patients with borderline dysplasia …

Background: The outcomes of hip arthroscopy in the treatment of dysplasia are variable.
Historically, arthroscopic treatment of severe dysplasia (lateral center-edge angle [LCEA]< …

Background: Labral reconstruction using iliotibial band (ITB) autografts and semitendinosus
(Semi-T) allografts has recently been described in cases of labral deficiency …

Background: The acetabular labrum has been found to provide a significant contribution to
the distractive stability of the hip. However, the influence of labral height on hip suction seal …
