Arthroscopic hip labral repair preferred for young patients with repairable tears

Historically, labral debridement was a common treatment for labral tears. In younger patients, this has been supplanted by labral repair as the preferred technique for repairable labral tears. While there has been some controversy about the type of labral repair that is preferable (wraparound/circumferentially affixing the labrum vs. vertical mattress configuration), outcomes thus far have been equivalent.
