title: [Labrum lesions and residual dysplasia of the hip joint. Definition and prospectives].
abstract: Labral lesions are a sign of biomechanical decompensation of the hip joint and often represent the first clinical symptom of residual hip dysplasia (RHD) in the adult. Provocation tests (impingement, apprehension) are typical but not specific. Labral lesions and concomitant findings (intra- and extraosseous ganglia, stress bone marrow oedema) can be detected by magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) with an accuracy of 91%. Primary therapeutic goal is the normalization of the underlying pathomorphology and instability by a redirectional acetabular osteotomy. There are several concepts concerning simultaneous arthrotomy at the time of osteotomy: no arthrotomy at all, selective arthrotomy, routine arthrotomy in every case. There are more clinical studies necessary before one of these concepts can be widely accepted and recommended. Based on preliminary results, palliative arthrotomy with partial labral resection but without corrective osteotomy in osteoarthritis secondary to residual hip dysplasia gives poor results; we therefore urgently dissuade from palliative labral surgery via arthrotomy. Whether labral surgery via arthroscopy might be a useful concept in symptomatic residual hip dysplasia, is still an open question. In this review article, the "state of the art" presented at the "Vienna Labral Symposium 1997" is reflected and summarized. At the end of this article, a "common statement" of the experts is published in English and German language.
