How Does Chondrolabral Damage and Labral Repair Influence the Mechanics of the Hip in the Setting of Cam Morphology? A Finite-Element Modeling Study

Background null Individuals with cam morphology are prone to chondrolabral injuries that may progress to osteoarthritis. The mechanical factors responsible for the initiation and progression of chondrolabral injuries in these individuals are not well understood. Additionally, although labral repair is commonly performed during surgical correction of cam morphology, the isolated mechanical effect of labral repair on the labrum and surrounding...
