Popis: Preserving labral integrity has become a guiding principle in hip preservation surgery given the recent understanding of the importance of the acetabular labral suction seal. When labral tissue is deficient, a labral reconstruction may be indicated to re-create the suction seal and improve hip biomechanics. One of the main challenges of segmental labral reconstruction techniques is obtaining an accurate measurement of the defect because incorrect sizing of the graft could result in incomplete restoration of the labral seal or an oversized graft that requires amputation. In this report, we present a kite measurement technique that allows for easy, accurate measurement of the segmental defect during segmental labral reconstruction.
