Comparative Outcomes of Circumferential Versus Segmental Labral Reconstruction in Hip Arthroscopy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

The authors aimed to compare the clinical outcomes, complications, and reoperation rates of segmental versus circumferential labral reconstruction techniques in hip arthroscopy. Their systematic review and meta-analysis of 28 studies found that both techniques led to significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes without notable differences, although circumferential reconstruction was associated with a lower rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty. However, the authors caution that causality cannot be established due to study heterogeneity and design limitations.
