Abstract
The hip suction seal plays a key role in distractive stability and maintenance of intra-articular fluid pressure of the hip. Preservation of the suction seal relies on the acetabular labrum and the congruence between the labrum and the femoral head−neck junction. During the treatment of cam-type impingement, iatrogenic over-resection in the femoral head−neck junction or labrum deficiency can cause loss of this suction seal. In this technical note, we describe a remplissage procedure performed in addition to labral reconstruction in a patient with loss of the suction seal due to a dysfunctional labrum and previous over-resection of a cam deformity.
