The acetabular labrum is a fibrocartilagenous structure similar in composition to the meniscus. It is a ring of tissue that surrounds the acetabulum of the pelvis, and allows the head of the femur to articulate smoothly and efficiently with the acetabulum. The labrum plays an important role in maintaining the biomechanical stability of the hip ...
The primary aim of surgery is to correct the fit of the femoral head and acetabulum to create a hip socket that reduces contact between the two, allowing a greater range of movement. [30] This includes femoral head sculpting and/or trimming of the acetabular rim. [30] [31] Surgery may be arthroscopic or open. [7]
X-ray of Femoral Osteotomy hardware to correct femoral rotation caused by hip dysplasia. X-ray of the right hip in female patient in early thirties. Two main types of osteotomies are used in the correction of hip dysplasias and deformities to improve alignment/interaction of acetabulum – (socket) – and femoral head – (ball), innominate osteotomies and femoral osteotomies.
Risk factors for infection include obesity, diabetes, smoking, immunosuppressive medications or diseases, history of infection and previous hip surgery. [20] In revision surgery, infected tissue surrounding the joint is removed, and the artificial joint replaced. This can be carried out in one- or two-stage surgery.
Over the next few years its success spurred surgeons all over the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and many parts of Asia to start performing the procedure. On 9 May 2006, the FDA approved the BHR for medical use in the United States. [14] Following thirteen years of usage McMinn reports 96% success with his BHRs in all patients and all diagnoses.

At the lower part of the acetabulum is the acetabular notch, which is continuous with a circular depression, the acetabular fossa, at the bottom of the cavity of the acetabulum. The rest of the acetabulum is formed by a curved, crescent-moon shaped surface, the lunate surface, where the joint is made with the head of the femur.
Zones of a hip prosthesis, by the DeLee and Charnley system, [1] and the Gruen system. [2]After hip replacement, hip prosthesis zones are regions in the interface between prosthesis material and the surrounding bone.
